So, I had previously read "Stitch! Best Friends Forever" which is a collection of manga stories about Stitch. This is the original series that the previous post was based on.
Short version is that Stitch crash lands accidentally in Japan on island in Okinawa. Stitch befriends a local girl named Yuna and goofiness ensues. The entire series is just one goofy event after another of Stitch trying to do good deeds.
At any point, Stitch could go home to Lilo in Hawaii, but chooses not to to continue to have silly slice of life adventures with Yuna instead. Pleakey and Jumba even show up to even sillier effect.
This was what confused me about the original manga I had read. It was set surrounding the stories of the original manga, so it was side stories that would supplement this one and, reiterate some of the origin tales and closing chapters for new readers. But, for me, a person going in blind, that one was confusing. This one was less so.
The TokyoPop compilation of the two volumes of Stitch also includes some Lilo and Stitch comics in the middle. These ones are just little slice of life day to day adventures of Lilo and Stitch in Hawaii.
The high point of the entire series, for me, was a single chapter where Stitch and a rooster who hates everyone end up competing and fighting. Screenshot included of them boxing.
TL;DR If you want goofy, slice of life with Stitch from Lilo and Stitch where he's crash landing as a fish out of water in Japan, check it out. If that doesn't appeal to you, then ignore it.
