Really enjoyed this even with the added addition of a new character, Whisper (her design is super sleek and futuristic). Also, Shadow has actual personality here beyond "I eat edge for breakfast."

Not too much has happened, but Harry's a gem

So, I was originally going to rate this higher because the premise is cute, the characters are so earnest with their feelings and emotions, and I looked forward to how it would progress. BUT if this is heading towards some step-sibling nonsense. DO NOT WANT!

Now, I already have volume two, so let's see where this goes. Hopefully, I'm jumping to conclusions, but too many mangas like to play and giggle around with quasi-incestuous relationships. >.>

Everyone is so earnest with their feelings that it is simply adorable. These kiddies know how to communicate. I think Inui is my favorite because he’s so easy-going and understanding.

Onto the weird step-sibling stuff, it’s not as bad as I originally thought (character 1 had feelings for character 2 for a long time and the day they were going to confess WHAM! Their parents got engaged.) Still, why even put those vibes in there >.> Unnecessary drama.

Extremely quirky with excellent artwork! think if I were more familiar with cons all the references would probably make me smile. The premise built on fanboy/girl nerd culture is fun. I liked Destiny, and I'm not being biased. But I'm not interested in reading another volume.

2.5

(This is for the English version)
Super cute "slice-of-life" episodic strips of a little girl growing up in Ivory Coast. You don't have to be familiar with any of the characters, and none of the stories have a continuation. You can read from any point and enjoy.

SN: Akissi's brother is terribly mean, but Akissi is mad annoying (like most little sisters; I should know as I am one).

Absolutely charming. There's a subtle message of how everyone does not deserve your kindness, but it's worth trying to see the best in people (with common sense intact). Kerry is adorably earnest and sweet, and his dynamic with Waystone is great. The art style is blocky, colorful, and super geometric. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

4.5

Some mixed feelings, but, good overall. I wonder if I would've liked this more in novel form?

Did they really leave Jason to deal with the police by himself? Although he's a war-crazy fool, he's also a biracial man who isn't white-passing.

The way Theo called Nim a fat, ugly cow was brushed over so lightly. Nah, son that's how you really feel.

I liked Alia, but she felt like a sad sack the entire time.
