A New Chapter in Humor: Mononoke's Manga Collection

On August 8, 2025, publishing label viviON THOTH will launch an exciting short manga collection titled Manga Mononoke: Best Short Stories, created by the popular YouTuber Mononoke, who has amassed over 500,000 subscribers. Known for their unique comedic style, Mononoke's work is now being adapted into a collection illustrated by the talented SENGPIE.

This collection is not just a compilation of short stories; it encapsulates Mononoke's brilliant and eccentric humor that has been loved by fans. Each of the 15 diverse episodes, along with a newly illustrated story crafted specifically for this collection, provides readers with a delightful and engaging experience, presenting a distinctive perspective filled with humor and occasionally chilling insights.

While many may categorize this book solely as a gag manga, it offers much more than quick laughs. Readers will find their imaginations sparked, and emotions stirred, akin to an experience at a solo live performance by a stand-up comedian. It's an invitation to laugh, reflect, and appreciate the complexities of humor in everyday life.

Comments from Mononoke and SENGPIE

Mononoke (Original Creator):

“In life, one finds that the essence of things can only be understood by those who are right in the midst of them. The wisdom of a tiny creature speaks volumes.”

SENGPIE (Manga Artist):

“In the past, when recommending films, my simple phrase ‘It’s funny’ would lead to confusion. Comedy encompasses so much more, and this manga encapsulates various forms of ‘funny’ produced straight from Mononoke's mind. It’s packed!”
