SwipeProduct description
A talking wallaby who loves Japan ends up plucked out of Australia and placed in a job as a substitute teacher, where he'll learn courage, make new friends, and teach life lessons—all while being compeletely adorable. Fans of a certain marmalade-loving bear will fall in love with this heart-melting manga about a fearless marsupial from down under!
A little wallaby (well, a quokka, really) lived in the Australian outback. He somehow learned to speak (Japanese at that!) and longed to travel to the land of the samurai. One day, a mustachioed rich man from Japan happened upon the little marsupial, and before he knew it, he’d been whisked away on a private jet to the country of his dreams! It turned out the man was the principal of a private school, and now “Mr. Wallaby” is a teacher, inspiring and amusing a whole class of high schoolers!
Slice-of-life manga meets Paddington Bear meets a Steve Irwin nature special in this sweet and silly three-volume manga series.
