Not terribly deep or accurate to the games it's based off of, but a ton of fun nonetheless. The art and tone *REALLY* sells this book. The main characters are expressive in Mato's style and the Pokemon are rendered in ways that make them cute, cuddly, sharp, and cool. The story takes itself seriously and has a bit of an edge to it, a nice change of pace that sets this apart from other representations of the franchise. While many of the characters are wildly different from their in-game counterparts, they're all charming in their own way. Whether you're a long-time fan or just getting into the series, this manga is a fun romp and absolutely worth checking out.
