'Aggretsuko: Metal to the Max' by Daniel Barnes with art by D.J. Kirkland is a graphic novel based on the Sanrio character on Netflix.

This volume has 3 different stories in which Retsuko the Red Panda has to endure situations which lead to her singing death metal karaoke. In the first, a coworker comes to work sick and causes a zombie outbreak. In the second a shallow coworker goes shopping with Retsuko. In the third, an office improvement specialist visits the office with lots of trite ideas.

This was a funny set of stories. Retsuko is so put upon and her karaoke anger sessions are hilarious. The art is as fun as the stories.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Cute, quick read perfect for fans of the show. I really liked the longest story about the exchange lady (goose) from Canada.

Another collection of very short Aggretsuko comics. And when I say short.... I mean really short.

Eh. I liked including the virus because it’s the first graphic novel I’ve seen do that, but other than that I wasn’t too impressed.

Thanks to Oni Press for the ARC!

"Metal to the Max" collects the first three issues: "Down with the sickness", "Mall Madness" and "The Visitor". As usual, we can relate so much to what the characters are going through. Especially the first one. It put a smile on my face several times. I'm glad that reading this book gave me the same special feeling I get when I'm watching it on netflix.

I'm sure all the fans will love it!! But if you never watched it, you probably should check it before reading this. It'll be even funnier then, trust me.
