Glitch, Vol. 1 by Shima Shinya
4.0
Thank you NetGalley and Yen Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review, all opinions in this review are my own.
A very interesting first volume of a manga series, it has an eery, slightly haunting atmosphere without going full horror. This story follows two siblings Minato & Akira who have recently moved to a new town and are starting school, strange phenomena are observed by some people in this town as well as our two main protagonists. These siblings along with Akira's friends start investigating these strange occurrences or glitches. They meet some interesting otherworldly people/creatures while on their search. Not much happens in this book as plot but it sets up an interesting premise for future volumes to follow.
The illustration and cover are what drew me into this book, it use simple shapes of bold black and white panels for it's story and does a very good job at that.
