Thank you to Kodansha Comics for the e-arc of this manga!! This story gave such Studio Ghibli and Thumbelina vibes!! Sheeta’s friend Nala goes missing and he decides to leave the safety of his village to find him. He meets Izuna, who is searching Sheeta’s dad — who apparently destroyed his village. They form an unlikely alliance and keep searching together. Although Sheeta was scared of leaving his new-ish home, his loyalty and love for his friend eclipsed his fears. The art style is sooooo cute and the story makes me feel so nostalgic for the fantasy films and books of my childhood. 4 🌟
