パタリロ! [Patariro!] [Patalliro!] #1

This volume collects early chapters of Mineo Maya's long-running manga series Patalliro!, a comedic adventure that began serialization in 1979. The story follows the flamboyant and mischievous young king Patalliro of the fictional Maran-gram kingdom, alongside his stoic ninja bodyguard Banjoran, as they navigate absurd political schemes, international espionage, and surreal humor. Hakusensha's edition presents the foundational episodes of this influential shōjo-aimed series, which blends slapstick, cross-dressing, and parody with a distinctive artistic style.
