Wandering Son, Vol. 1 by Takako Shimura
4.0

This was my first Manga, so I can't really comment too much on the format of this book in a critical way. It was a little confusing at first because I wasn't sure which direction the pages were going. Some were top to bottom, others were bottom to top. But, I got the gist of what was going on.

As for the story as a whole, it was really wholesome and I enjoyed the transgender representation and I liked that the book wasn't so heavily focused on the character being trans, she was still figuring herself out. However, I was still a little bit confused on the characters names and the side characters weren't as fleshed out so I just had trouble following the stories of the side characters.

As for illustrations, I think the art was nice! It was a different style and personally I like when illustrations larger on the page, so that was nice to have.
