A review by miriamreads
Stardust Family by Aki Poroyama

5.0

A standalone manga that takes place in a world where parents have to pass a 2-week examination with a “child inspector” before they are able to get permission to have children.  I really was intrigued by this concept and the main character Hikari was compelling as he navigated being a child inspector. I fell in love with the characters and the world. The twist ending really got me and I definitely teared up. 5/5 Stars! 

Also this manga reminded me a bit of Promised Neverland, so if you are a fan of that this book has very pared down vibes that are similar. 

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this novel in exchange for a free and honest review.
