Luigi Comics Novels & Stories

Man, the Luigi x Daisy ship has such a dedicated fanbase! I stumbled into this corner of the internet a while back, and there are some truly talented artists out there. One of my favorite spots is Tumblr—tags like #luidaisy or #luigianddaisy bring up tons of indie comics, from fluffy one-shots to multi-chapter slow burns. DeviantArt is another goldmine, especially if you filter by ‘Mario’ pairings. Some creators even post on Twitter (or X, whatever we’re calling it now), though you’ll have to dig through threads. Webtoon and Tapas occasionally have hidden gems too, though they’re rarer. The key is patience—and maybe joining a Discord server where fans trade recommendations.

If you’re into physical zines, check out Etsy or indie comic cons. I snagged a handmade ‘Luigi’s Heartache’ comic last year that had no right being that emotional. Archive of Our Own (AO3) has some comic-style fics too, though they’re text-heavy. Honestly, half the fun is the hunt—there’s something magical about stumbling across a 10-year-old Geocities page with janky pixel art of these two holding hands.

You know, I’ve spent way too much time flipping through those Luigi comics, and Daisy’s presence is honestly a bit of a mixed bag. She’s not as front-and-center as, say, Peach, but she pops up in some fun arcs, especially when the story leans into sports or racing themes—probably because of her ties to 'Mario Kart' and 'Super Mario Strikers.' The comics tend to focus more on Luigi’s ghost-hunting shenanigans, so Daisy feels like a guest star rather than a regular.

That said, when she does show up, it’s always a blast. Her fiery personality clashes perfectly with Luigi’s nervous energy, and there’s this one storyline where she drags him into a tennis tournament that’s pure chaos. I wish they’d use her more, though—she’s such an underrated character in the Mario universe.

Man, Luigi and Daisy have such an underrated dynamic in the comics! One of my favorite storylines is from 'Super Mario Adventures' in Nintendo Power, where Daisy gets kidnapped (classic Mario trope, I know) and Luigi has to team up with Wario to rescue her. What makes it special is how Daisy isn't just a damsel—she's actively sabotaging Bowser's forces from inside the castle. The nervous energy between her and awkward Luigi is adorable, especially when she playfully teases him after the rescue.

Another great one is the 'Super Mario-kun' manga's take on their relationship. There's this hilarious chapter where Daisy drags Luigi to a dance competition, and his gangly limbs somehow become graceful when they partner up. The artist really leans into the contrast between her fiery personality and his timid nature, making their interactions spark with unexpected chemistry. I wish more Western comics explored their dynamic beyond the usual 'Luigi blushes' gag.
