Fun read. Great for tween boys -- monsters, fart jokes, fighting bad guys -- what more could they want.

Originally published in 1997, Cowa! is an incredibly charming all ages one-shot from the mangaka behind Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump, and perhaps one of the most famous Japanese creators in North America, Akira Toriyama.
Not an easy story to really pick apart, suffice to say that this story of a bunch of monster children and famed murderer saving the day is all the charm of Dragon Ball without any of the problematic parts. An obvious companion to the likes of the extremely popular Nightmare Before Christmas, I would also recommend Little Vampire by Joann Sfar if you have not already picked up that one. #365DaysofHalloween

The creator of this might be famous, but this isn’t entertaining. The main character is a bratty, lying, stealing monster child that I wanted to be far away from. Too much violence, including the threatening of children with death! Skip this read.
