This is a manga adaptation of the movie which I have yet to watch but after reading this first volume I can't wait to. It follows Suzume Iwato, a high schooler, who meets a mysterious man looking for a door and the adventure goes on from there. I found this story heartwarming, showing how people can help each other in need along the way. The art style was beautiful and clear to what was happening in the story, making it engaging from start to finish. Plus, with a cute but mischievous cat, what's not to love?
Thank you NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
