Spider-Man rogue Doctor Octopus faces his biggest challenge yet—living life as a middle school girl in Japan!
Mad scientist Doc Ock and Japanese middle school girl Otoha Okutamiya are having a hard enough time sharing a body in Tokyo before they have to contend with a sinister would-be hero—Superior Octopus! The battle between the pair of Doc Ocks escalates into all-out war, with Otoha’s friends caught in the fray.
Spider-Man: Octo-Girl volume 2 by Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court will be published on May 13, 2025. VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.
The first volume of this manga was a lot of fun. I was hoping for that to continue here with volume 2 which serves up the next eight chapters of the serial.
The story really ramps up with this one, especially on the action front. The stakes are raised as Okutamiya's world and Ock's coming crashing together. The confrontations are intense with the dynamic art carrying the reader on this roller-coaster ride. The themes of friendship and relationships are also very strong and universal.
I appreciate that each chapter ends with an "Octopus Talk" page by Furuhashi that gives more insight into the characters and story line.
Lastly, the additional bonus material of "The Marvels" was a feast for the eyes.
I look forward to the Octo-Girl story continuing in the next volume.
