Kirby of the Stars: The Story of Dedede Who Lives in Pupupu (星のカービィ デデデでプププなものがたり, Hoshi no Kirby: Dedede de Pupupu na Monogatari) is a Japanese manga series based on the video game series of the same name written and illustrated by Hirokazu Hikawa. The series follows the adventures of Kirby and his friend Chirby, who are on a quest to return the Star Rod, the legendary treasure of Dream Land.
The manga ran in Shogakukan's monthly CoroCoro Comic from May 1994 through November 2006, and was released in 25 individual tankōbon volumes. A special chapter was published in the December 2017 winter issue of CoroCoro Aniki, where it has been continued to be serialized. Viz Media planned to release the manga in North America in 2010, but it was cancelled. The manga was later published as a "best-of" collection with new chapters, which was published in English as Kirby Manga Mania by Viz Media.
