Today's review is Monsters Inc., adapted by Hiromi Yamazaki and published by ABDO Books in sturdy hardcovers for your elementary readers. Despite omissions to make the story fit within pg #s, this is a fun read and great way to revisit this beloved film.

Smells like Green Spirit is a difficult read, but an important one. Nagai-sensei has created some compelling characters, and I got swept up in their journey of self-discovery.

Steel of the Celestial Shadows volume 7 is a giant boss fight, and I'm here for it. Konosuke gets to be a bit of a badass and show off some of what he's been learning this whole series, and it's awesome. There are some great payoff moments.

Otaku x Gal is a sweet little friendship story born out of the latest trends. Some of the phrases might become dated, but the core story may appeal to readers because of its wholesomeness.

Today's review is an absolutely stunning, gripping story from @comicstitan.bsky.social - Yan volume 1. This book grabs you from page 1 and doesn't let up all the way to the twist at the end. The large 10" format is the perfect way to enjoy these beautiful illustrations!

Next is Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick, an adventure story in a similar vein to Dragon Ball. There are scheming bad guys, larger-than-life destinies, and wholesome heroes.

Red Flower from FairSquare Graphics is beautifully illustrated and has a fascinating story about a young prince trying to prove himself and often failing miserably because of his impatience. This manga would be great for Elementary+ libraries.
