Miraculous Ladybug Chibi Volume 1 arrives this fall!

Spots on with everyone’s favorite superhero, Miraculous™ Ladybug, and her trusted partner, the purrfect Cat Noir. This dynamic superhero duo is hanging out on Parisian roof tops and, when they’re not saving the day, they’re getting into some super hijinks! What happens when Ladybug and Cat Noir share a pizza – and Cat Noir runs off with it?! Plus, does catnip work only on felines? Or… could a little spritz attract Miraculous™ Ladybug? All this and more in the first volume of the Miraculous™ graphic novel series for kids, tweens, and teens, influenced by the globally renowned award-winning animated TV series ZAG Heroez Miraculous™ – Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir and featuring the chibi art from the Miraculou™Chibi shorts on YouTube that have over 20 million views!

Papercutz Editor Stephanie Brooks said, “ZAG Heroez Miraculous™ is a feat of animation. I remember watching all of season one in one night. It’s mesmerizing. The show is part of a long legacy of empowered and powerful girls in magical action. Papercutz really honors and curates that legacy. Both the show and graphic novel feature a fantastically diverse cast. In her normal life, secret superhero Miraculous Ladybug is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, a French-Chinese young girl; and the entire cast is made up of very distinct (and very distinctly designed) characters with incredibly diverse backstories and relationships.” Brooks added, “Marinette, aka Ladybug, has a special place in my heart. Genuinely, every time I see Asian representation on the screen or in a book, I am thrilled. I am honored. I am so excited for the kid I once was, and I wholeheartedly hope that what I missed is here for today’s audience. It is my personal and professional goal that our books will continue to inspire and empower people—the ordinary can be miraculous, and anyone can be a hero.”

The 3D-CGI-animated superhero aspirational action-comedy series Miraculous™ follows the adventures of two seemingly typical teens who magically transform into superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir. As secret superheroes, Ladybug and Cat Noir are partners in the action. But in the daytime, Marinette is just a normal girl, living a normal life. Cat Noir will do anything to support and impress Ladybug but does not know this is Marinette from his class. Marinette, the regular girl, in turn dreams of Adrien and simply gets little response. When evil threatens Paris, their beloved City of Lights, can they beat the unexpected villains? Five seasons and three one-hour animated specials are available in the U.S. on Disney Channel and Disney+; seasons one to five are also on Netflix. The animated blockbuster Miraculous™: Ladybug and Cat Noir, The Movie launched on Netflix in the U.S. in July 2023.
