Clock Striker, Volume 1: "I'm Gonna Be a SMITH!" by Frederick L. Jones, Issaka Galadima, Saturday AM

adventurous funny hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.5

ARC provided by NetGalley.

I originally heard about this manga from a session with Saturday AM and was absolutely THRILLED to see it on NetGalley. It is geared more middle grade/lower high school but I think it’ll thrive in my high school. I love the disability rep (although a bit tropey with her mechanical arm), a Black female lead as well as her absolute love and knowledge of math and science. #womeninstem Cheesy at times, this new manga really touches on a lot of what anime and manga fans love. I’m really excited for Saturday AM in general gracing my library and think this was a phenomenal first book. I really look forward to reading the rest of the series. We love diverse manga!!!
