Penguindrum (Manga) Vol. 1 by Kunihiko Ikuhara, Ikunichawder
2.0
Wow, this is such a tall glass of nope I don't even know where to begin.
The story, aside from the fetch-quest aspect, makes close to no sense. I blame the whiplash-inducing flashbacks and shoehorned in babble about fate for this, and boy was it bad. I read Kigurumi Guardians and fucking LOVED the artwork/art style and it fucking KILLS me to see how sub-par the artwork/art style is in this series. The characters aren't interesting, I have no clue what the stakes are outside of Himari dying, and the world has not been explained AT ALL. I ended up skipping through most of the end because I could not be bothered to care.
This was insanely disappointing and I will NOT be continuing with series. If you want something better, read Kigurumi Guardians. Yes, it was never finished, but trust me it is INFINITELY better.
