I’m caught up with the web comic, so my review/survey of the first volume may be a bit influenced by knowing how the story progresses, but this does not negate how much I love these characters, and I am so happy I was able to get my hands on a physical copy. But…. I may enjoy the tv show a bit more if I’m solely comparing the 2 mediums (season 1 v volume 1). The series delves so much more into the full cast of characters, so knowing that, I’ve rated it middle of the road since I know how much more charming and endearing the series becomes (yes, I’m including hindsight in a review).
