Reviews - Golden Kamuy, Vol. 1

209 reviews for:

Loving the art style (every set of eyes is just so pretty and expressive), as well as the hunting and cooking content. The plot has been introduced well, and I'm liking the soldier character more than I'd expected to. Overall, surprisingly wholesome so far. The food descriptions are making me hungry. I want soup.

This was an experience. I mean that in the best way though. I was not quite sure what to expect from this manga.

I do love how the nature is shown in this manga, it looks realistic and actually makes me respect Noda a lot of it. Sometimes when I see animals in manga it feels too....uwu. if you catch my meaning haha.

I can also tell that Noda put a lot of work into this piece from the historical stand point and showing Ainu culture. I don't get to see that in a lot of Japanese media so I'm excited to explore this further.
