Kimba, the white Lion

As a manga tie-in for the then ongoing anime in 1966, this spin-off was serialized for a younger audience. As a little lion cub in the jungle, Leo must find a way to stop an aggressive red rhinoceros from hurting his jungle friends. Watch a boxing match between Leo and a rogue lion, Bubu. Help Leo save a brave hero as he gets revenge on Lubar, an elderly leopard. Finally, learn about Laiya's brother and how a hydra-snake was able to devour their entire family. These chapters of the Shogakukan Sunday Comics were re-released in 1994 with the Complete Manga Works edition of Bouken Ruby (冒険ルビ).

As the future emperor of the African jungle, Leo the lion cub is sent off to live with a little Japanese boy named Kenichi. During his stint with the humans, Leo has many learning experiences and somehow always manages to get into a little trouble along the way. But when a rat arrives—carried by a stork like a little bundle of joy, no less—with a message from home, Leo realizes it’s time to return to the jungle. As he embarks on his biggest adventure yet, he’s unaware of the great battles that lie ahead. (Source: DMG)
