A review by hue
Children of the Whales, Vol. 1 by Abi Umeda

challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

5.0

Oh my, I'm so excited! I tried the anime years ago but it didn't really click but the manga is SO much better! The plot is interesting and layered, the world is so strange and unique, the explanations are so worth it and not the least info-dumpy. And the art is so beautiful it's insane. Definitely going to devour this as quickly as I can.
Also, the ending was just as traumatic as I remembered from the anime lol.
