Pokemon Adventures Vol. 1 by Mato, Hidenori Kusaka, Juha Mylläri

Okay...I grew up in the era of lots of Pokemon trading cards and kids who were obsessed with the anime. While I caught a few episodes here and there, I was never a huge fan. These move so well at our library so I thought that I would pick one up and see what it was like. This was great! I loved learning about all of the Pokemon and the competition between Red and Blue. According to more avid fans of the series, this is majorly different from the TV series. Honestly, I was used to hearing about Ash so it was shocking to hear more about Red and Blue instead. Even though I'm not as familiar with the characters and the world, this has me wanting to read the rest of the manga and then binge the anime. Overall, this was a great reading experience and I'm already looking forward to reading volume 2.
