If you’re a Nintendo fan, you most likely don’t need to read this review – this has the Nintendo label on it, so you’ll probably enjoy it no matter the actual content.

On the contrary, if you’re someone who’s not that fond of Nintendo works or doesn’t have nostalgia towards Mario, this won’t be as good read to you. It’s practically undistinguishable from 90’s western comics from kids – both the artstyle and the story. Of course the pages were flipped for the English release too. It’s colourful, sure, but the art itself just isn’t interesting at all, especially for what is technically a manga. The story depth is at the level of Mickey Mouse and the character depth is as what you would expect from characters originating from non-story driven child’s game.

Overall, read it if you want a sort of curiosity as part of your manga list of if you’re a die-hard Nintendo/Mario fan, otherwise no need to lose time with this one.
