Robotics;Notes Volume 1 by 5pb.

adventurous hopeful medium-paced

4.0

 The story follows Aki and Kai, the only two members of a Robotics Club at their high school. Aki is super optimistic, and her only goal is to finish building a life size robot left behind by her older sister and founder of the club. Kai is mostly there because Aki has been his friend since they were children, he's more into an online robot fighting game, and will only agree to do anything being asked from him if you can beat him in a fighting match. 

 

Having played the original Visual Novel in japanese I can say that the translation is great, at least I have a feeling of consuming the same story. It has character profile pages in between chapters and I always love when they have them. Only weird thing is that some of the onomatopoeia aren't translated, so you see a "Buzz" next to japanese characters. 

 

The art is nice and doesn't go over the top, which is what puts me off from reading certain manga, it conveys the scenes really well. 

 

Overall a great localization of a science adventure story. Can't wait for the next volumes.
