In Mao-Chan, Japan has been invaded by "cute aliens"-whose powers of cuteness are too much for the military. It's up to Mao-chan, the general's 8-year-old daughter, and her adorable best friends, to save Japan from this massive super-cuteness attack. A special release, Mao-Chan will be released in two oversize volumes with over 400 pages of manga in each.
