Hijinks, failures and mishaps ensue as the two work together to get Whallop to notice Shiruru.
Style[]
A page of the comic
Good Luck Shiru-chan has a very colorful and cheery art style, being that it's a mostly lighthearted series. A few sightgags and exaggerated faces appear in the comic, most of the odd image spots coming from Shiruru's fantasies about Whallop. There's also a Rayquaza hidden in each episode, some being more difficult to spot than others. On some isolated panels the characters may be drawn super crudely, dark or hyper-realistic. This is mostly done for comedic affect. Specifically focusing on mostly Shiruru, Char, Whallop and occasionally Emolga, most of the other major characers from RPCRP are just given cameo roles.
Planned Episodes[]
The comic is planned to be broken down into episodes. So far episode 1 is in the works. (Episodes not yet final)
- The Quickest Way to a Snorlax's Heart is Through His Stomach! - The first episode, in which Shiruru plans on cooking Whallop a romantic dinner.

- I Don't Care if My Boyfriend is Virtual! - Shiruru finds an old dating sim created by Chiko that stars her male friends. She decides that she'll try to beat Whallop's route at all costs.
Remake[]
The comic is slated to be remade after it's long hiatus. The remake will mostly follow what's been set in the original, though with improved artwork and more up to date character designs. It's unknown how long it will be now but it will at least get through the first few episodes.
There wil also be more Easter Eggs and references this time around.

Trivia[]
- This is the first comic of the Pokecrew to present new canon material to the Timeline, as the RPCRP comic and the PokeRP Saga comic are simply adaptions
