A review by bookishraccoon
Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games Vol. 1 by Eri Ejima

adventurous funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

3.5

I always like to break up books by reading a short story/manga inbetween. With that said, this was an enjoyable short read that brought a lot of nostalgia with it. This manga was giving me flashbacks to playing fighting games with my brother growing up. Nowadays, on occasion I’ll hit up a arcade, & battle it out with my significant other. There’s just something different, & intense with fighting games- this manga captured that feeling perfectly (with a great sense of humor added to it)! I’m not sure honestly if I’ll stick with the series, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Would 10/10 recommend to anybody that grew up playing retro/ old fighting games!
