But Why Tho? - Cidnya
Dec 31, 2020While I was expecting an intense thriller, I have come out with nothing but awe at this quietly brilliant work from mangaka Naoki Urasawa. Asadora! Volume 1 demands that you follow Asada through her adversity and root for her along the way in post-war Japan. Read Full Review

Jul 31, 2021This story was an absolute joy to read, and I was actually disappointed when I reached the last page and there were no more. Asa is a fairly strange and outgoing little girl. The only drawback for me was when they take on the side mission to get everyone some rice balls. Asa emerges from the shipping container hell-bent on finding her family, but she almost forgets about finding them when she sees people waiting to be rescued. The urgency for finding her family is almost non-existent after that, and it’s more like they’ll get there when they get there. Read Full Review
