I was scrolling my public library catalog and then I came across this. I had to read it because I like Lilo & Stitch, very good Disney film/franchise. Going into this I didn't really have any expectations other than Stitch+manga=good, but this didn't hold true. In a nutshell, this is just a retelling of the original L&S, but with a Samurai in feudal Japan instead of Lilo in Hawaii. This is basically just a mash of L&S and A Man and His Cat (which is much better). Some notable things I didn't like was that the characters were rather flat, it just rephrased jokes/occurrences from ... the original series, and that the art was contrasting (not that the art was bad per say, but that Stitch contrasted from the rest of the art, he stood out). It could have potentially been interesting if rather than Disney character design for mostly flat colors, if depth or other details were added or character design was altered. I was also confused on the timeline of how this would fit into the main series, because how could he escape to Earth before then (and how would they still be alive), so I just figured it was a retelling.

I wouldn't recommend for someone who hasn't watched L&S because the movies are just better. Even if you do like L&S or have seen it before, I would not really recommend unless you are curious about it or think Stitch is cute.
