Aggretsuko: Metal to the Max by Daniel Barnes, Brenda Hickey, D.J. Kirkland
5.0
I was so excited when I saw "Aggretsuko: Metal to the Max" in the "Read Now" section of Netgalley. I am a fan of the Netflix original show that follows Retsuko, the red panda, an overworked company employee by day, and metal karaoke singer by night. Her adventures and endearing personality always get a chuckle out of me, and make a hectic day at work seem less so.
This graphic novel follows Retusko on three different adventures: trying to stay healthy at work while everyone else is falling ill, a day out shopping with her social media obsessed co-worker, and touring a consultant sent to raise the morale of the employees in the office. Just as in the show, her struggles are very relatable, and she always breaks down into metal karaoke singing to help her overcome them. The illustrations are very cute, and almost all the characters from the show make an appearance, which was great to see.
This is a great read for fans of the Netflix series. It takes about 15 min to read (about the same length of one episode) and is sure to put a smile on all of Retusko's fans' faces. Thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for the opportunity to read a copy in exchange for an honest review.
