Densetsu no Starfy (伝説のスタフィー) is a manga series based on the original Game Boy Advance games Densetsu no Starfy, Densetsu no Starfy 2 and Densetsu no Starfy 3, illustrated by manga artist Yumiko Sudō. It was succeeded by Densetsu no Starfy R, which is a manga series based on the events of Densetsu no Starfy 4.

This series was frequently submitted to issues of CoroCoro Comic from June 2002 (before the official release of the game Densetsu no Starfy in September 2002) until October 2005, and it was illustrated by manga artist Yumiko Sudō. Prior to June 2002, another series of Densetsu no Starfy series manga ran earlier the same year, but is not to be confused with this one. It was illustrated by Sayori Abe and appeared in certain pages in issues of Shogakukan Grade Comics (Japanese: 小学, literally "elementary school"), but was not distributed in tankōbon format. [1]

The first two volumes of this manga series were available for purchase in the form of a booklet from 28th October 2003 and 28th September 2005 respectively. (ISBN:4091431410 and 4091431429) The booklets were both 192 pages long, and were sold for ¥410. [2] [3] The manga was published by Shogakukan and was officially approved by Nintendo. A manga known as Densetsu no Starfy R based on the events of Densetsu no Starfy 4 succeeded the original series.

Characters

Densetsu no Starfy features various characters originating from the Game Boy Advance games as well as two original characters, Takeo and Rumi-chan.

Characters who surround Starfy

  • Old Man Lobber - An associate of Starfy, who cared for Starfy in the past. In Volume 2, he experiences memory loss.
  • Moe - Starfy met Moe in the belly of a whale, unlike in the games. Although Moe at first has a bad relationship with Starfy, they become close friends in Volume 2. Moe has a crush on Ruby, and Starfy once played a joke on Moe for it. Moe's family consists of his three younger siblings and his father Kyorozo. His father apparently has a bad drinking habit, which then caused Moe's Mother to divorce. Since then, Kyorozo has moved away to an unknown location. Moe has an associate called Chorosuke, Chorosuke and his relatives can be identified by the presence of a swirl on their heads.
