Review – Dinosaur Sanctuary, vol 1

Dinosaur Sanctuaryby Itaru KinoshitaGenres: Manga, Science Fiction Pages: 194 Series: Dinosaur Sanctuary #1 Rating: Synopsis: A richly detailed manga about a rookie zookeeper learning how to care for dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes, sure to delight dinosaur lovers! Dinosaurs are alive! In 1946, a remote island was discovered where dinosaurs never went extinct. Through breeding and genetic manipulation, dinosaur populations increased and dino-mania reached a fever pitch worldwide…until a certain terrible incident occurred. Afterward, dinosaur reserves like Enoshima Dinoland fell on hard times. Enter Suma Suzume, a kindhearted rookie dino-keeper! Can she be the one to save Dinoland from extinction? The first volume of Itaru Kinoshita’s Dinosaur Sanctuary was definitely the light reading I needed on the particular day I finally picked it up. It’s aimed at a younger audience, but it’s a lot of fun, including the fact files in between chapters by an actual dinosaur expert. I love that…
