I love seeing more starter manga for the younger readers. Especially for parents who don’t want anything overly “gory”. This is a perfect starter into the genre of Manga, that’s not pokemon.

My kids love these books and I was excited to see a new series of them. We read this together and if you like video games, play splatoon, or enjoy light and fun manga: this is for you!
It's a great way to encourage reading while your kids also feel like they are immersed in their favorite video game world.
I have seen other reviews say it just feels like an ad for the game and I would say it's more of an extension of the game. Feel like you are in their world for a little bit in a different way!

This is a review from my 11 year old son:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The book was really funny and I liked the new character. It was a lot like the original. It was really cool to see the characters from splatoon 2 using the new weapons and gear. I also like the new version of the S4 back from splatoon 2. They really gave off the evil vibe.

If you’re hoping for a Splatoon story, this isn’t it. I hoped this might be a fun little story, but it’s really just a long, though cute, ad for the game Splatoon 3. And I’m a fan of Splatoon. But all this really does is highlight the new weapons, hair styles, and specials that came out with the third game. To call this a story is paper thin at best.

The art is cute, story basically non existent, nd there’s no character development.
