The Piggy Patrol's Manga of the Month - Issue 3/March 2025

Growth isn’t just about getting stronger: it’s about learning, changing, and embracing the journey. Whether it’s a hero pushing past their limits, a friendship evolving over time, or the quiet, personal victories that shape who we are, this issue is all about stories that celebrate transformation in all its forms.

I’m thrilled to continue this series with our brilliant guest @grimmheim and our dedicated team @ditteauxessay, @z.harambae, and @mr.synochi, who have poured their passion into this issue! 🌱📖

Each featured work is handpicked to showcase powerful narratives: whether it’s a slow-burn character arc, a breathtaking training montage, or a moment of deep self-realisation. If you love stories that inspire, challenge, and uplift, this issue is for you!

This month, we also feature fan art pieces from you! Special thanks to @_andra_chan_ ,@z.harambae, and @narwhal_aoibhe. And here’s from @n_hui_illu who gave us permission to use their fan art as cover for this month’s issue:

“I created this split-image fan art of Luffy to showcase his growth in a fun, playful style. One side features his classic red vest and straw hat, while the other highlights his Gear 5 form with wild white hair. The cheerful background reflects his adventurous spirit and unstoppable joy.”

📢 We want to hear from you!
