The Spider-Verse has cast its web even wider with the release of “Spider-Man: Octopus Girl,” a thrilling manga collaboration that brings together the iconic duo of Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. Illustrated by the talented Betten Court, the cover of the first volume has captured the essence of the timeless rivalry between Peter Parker and his nefarious foe.
What sets this manga apart is the introduction of a brand new character, Otoha Okutamiya, who becomes entangled in the showdown between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. However, the twist in this tale is truly unprecedented. Doctor Octopus, traditionally a surly villain, finds himself sharing a body with Otoha after falling into a coma in his usual form. Now, the once-villainous doctor must navigate life in the shoes of a middle schooler, and not even Peter Parker is aware of this mysterious development.
An Unusual Alliance Unveiled
“Spider-Man: Octopus Girl” delves into the unique partnership between Otoha and Doctor Octopus as they adjust to coexisting within a single body. The manga takes a delightful turn as Otoha’s youthful wisdom proves to be a match for Doc Octopus’s usual demeanor. Fans are treated to heartwarming chapters that peel back the layers of Doctor Octopus, revealing a caring side beneath the brutal mask of madness.
At present, “Spider-Man: Octopus Girl” is exclusively available in Japan, leaving fans worldwide eagerly awaiting the possibility of an English release. With Viz Media’s track record of bringing popular manga titles to Western audiences, there is optimism that this Marvel adaptation could swing its way into international markets as well. The creators behind this masterpiece were also responsible for their impressive work on “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes,” which garnered a dedicated fan following that has further fueled the anticipation for this Marvel adaptation.
