Aggretsuko: Metal to the Max, Volume 1 by Daniel Barnes
4.0
*4.3 stars (rounded down)

Down with the Sickness: 5 stars - My favorite comic in this collection and possibly my favorite Aggretsuko comic. It plays on the covid-19 pandemic by making it somewhat of a funny zombie story. I also loved how this comic addressed how people should stay home when they're sick. It was definitely dramaticized, but it showed how easily a virus can spread.
Mall Madness: 4 stars - Geez, Tsunoda was annoying to read about. This story made great commentary on entitled rich people and social media influencers.
The Visitor: 4 stars - This one was probably my least favorite one in this collection. It was still pretty enjoyable and I thought it was creative how this story played on the idea of a "Karen." However, this Karen story felt a little weird to me because Karen was actually making good points about how Retsuko can and should stand up for herself. I did really appreciate the ending though because it left off on a really good note.
