Read more graphic novel reviews at www.graphiclibrary.org. Suzume starts a rotation into other departments, starting with the department overseeing the stegosaurus. She learns more about Igarashi, a seemingly cheery keeper who likewise wants people to learn information about the dinos while learning their stories. Igarashi had a previous job at another establishment, Blue World, where the prime focus was on entertainment, rather than education, and he often got in trouble for leaving his keeper side of the job to interact with park guests and give them educational information. It's nice to get more information about other keepers while learning more about dinosaurs at the same time. The new department head is very different from Kaidou, and he seems perfectly suited to oversee the types of dinosaurs he's looking after. Kaidou has the perfect grumpy-but-cautious attitude for the dangerous carnivores, while Igarashi has a little more laid back, but still serious attitude that fits in with the more mellow stegosaurus and other dinos in his department. Sara's Rating: 8/10 Suitability Level: Grades 7-12

3.5 rounded to a 4.

This is probably my least favourite volume so far. It felt very disjointed and there was a whole section in the middle that didn’t seem to fit into the story. I also found the idea of eating dinosaur meat incredible uncomfortable.

I really liked Igarashi and I hope we get to see more of him going forward.

Another great instalment in the series. I love that we’re learning more about side characters and there was a lot more science in this one too! Excited to continue on. I consider this one of my new fav manga series.

The information from Dr. Fujiwara in between scenes is helpful, though it breaks up the momentum of the story. The story in Dino Fans Forever chapter also broke up the flow of the main narrative. I enjoyed getting to know Igarashi in this volume!! The Dinoland map/pamphlet is a nice touch :)

Continues to be a cute story while being informative. Love the new character.

There are a few spelling errors in this one. Not sure if I've just missed them in past volumes.

Still don't understand how a dinosaur park could possibly be strapped for cash or need helping keeping visitors attentions...They're DINOSAURS!!
