Lenni Reviews: “The Promised Neverland” Vol. 3, by Kaiu Shirai & Posuka Demizu

While Emma and her friends do their best to act like normal while they plan an escape, Don and Gilda do some investigating of their own into Mom’s secrets.

While our main three are great, adding Don and Gilda really rounds out the cast. I was internally screaming that they were rummaging around in ways that could (and probably should) have gotten them caught and ruined everything but holy shit, the tension in this volume. This series is amazing and really sucks you in so you are flying through the pages to see what happens. 4 out of 5

As Emma, Norman, and Rey make plans to escape, Mama brings in Sister Krone as an extra pair of eyes to endure their plans fail.

Yikes, Mama is just as creepy and diabolical in the manga as she was in the show with the way she’s drawn in those extreme expressions. The kids are great characters and watching them try to work out a plan is genuinely thrilling. They’re inspiring and smart, so they’re easy to root for and of course addicting to read. 4.7 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “The Promised Neverland” Vol. 1, by Kaiu Shirai & Posuka Demizu

Emma, Norman, and Ray live an idyllic life at the Grace Field House with other orphans as they wait to be adopted. When one of them, Cony, is adopted and forgets her doll, Emma and Norman attempt to return it to her and discover the horrible truth about where they live and the “Mom” who has been caring for them.

After I finished the anime, I saw people were posting about how it ended badly and was different from the manga. So, I decided to read them. This first volume follows the beats of the anime; introducing the children, Mom, where they live, and the twist of this not being just a story about some cute kids having adventures at their orphanage. The art style is versatile, able to be both cute and horrifying and there’s plenty of tension. Fantastic start. 5 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Ragna Crimson” Vol. 6, by Daiki Kobayashi

Crimson and Ragna team up with the Argentum Corps to defend their stronghold against the hordes lead by Olto Zora and Taratectra in the Dragon Monarch’s big move to kill every human in the land.

This volume has quite the body count as it is entirely the battle taking place on the multiple fronts where the dragons are attacking. There are some interesting tactics by both sides, aside for Crimson, who – without spoilers – is just chaotic as he works to his own ends. 4 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Mao and his group work to uncover Yurako’s true identity and what really happened to Sana while also investigating the Kagami family; whose members are inexplicably committing violent acts. 

I like how the group members interact here and Nanaoka gets some great “screen” time; showing she’s more than competant when shit goes down. I hope we see more of that in the future. Her and Mao would make a great team in battle. 4 out of 5.

After defeating the Doku-Gumi, Legoshi must contend with the all female gang, Inari-Gumi. But the lovable goof that is Legoshi still fells like he can’t face a woman head on.

This also has Legoshi and Melon fighting and while it pains me to see Legoshi get maimed further, the fight between them is badass. It’s amazingly drawn and full of action. We even get Gosha and Yahya dealing with the chaos erupting in the Black Market. This volume will take your breath away. 5 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

As he continues in his journey, Keiji encounters a young chick who sees him as a hero and his ex, Elizabeth. Despite Keiji’s loner nature, these two join him on his quest.

I have to comment on the creature design. The enemies are fantastic, insanely creepy and detailed. The addition of Elizabeth is great. She’s smart, funny, and gives Keiji a way to be understood by humans. This story is just wild madness but it’s good! Especially for such an off the wall concept, but it somehow works to be entertaining. 3.9 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Bayou” Vol. 2, by Jeremy Love

Lee is traveling with the Bayou; a sort of swamp giant, looking for Brer Rabbit who may be able to help find her missing friend. But Stagolee, a ruthless killer, is hunting her.

This volume show more of the way the real world and the fantasy world Lee is in parallel each other. I found this follow up much better than the first one but unfortunately, there is no next installment. From what I could fine, there’s no volume 3 or anything about this series other than more people asking the same questions I am. I like this graphic novel but I hesitate to recommend it, especially if unfinished work bothers you. If you’re ok with that, I’d check this one out. It’s really good. 4 out of 5.
