Before we start, I'd like to state that I usually don't read manga because it doesn't manage to captivate my attention. However - I couldn't put "Petshop of Horrors" down! Definitely I'd recommend this as a starter-manga.


We're introduced into these very fleshed out characters (Take Count D - the main character for example with his indepth backstory). They have very realistic motives and actions that I can fully imagine happening in a real-life scenario. I mean, if this story wasn't focusing on a mysterious horrific petshop filled with exotic creatures.


Anyway, the plot is fresh and I enjoyed reading it. The creators, Akino and Matsuri outdid themselves here. Each volume and each chapter brought up a new concept and a fascinating grasp on the new addition to the world.


The art was good, as it fit with this story pretty well.


Even though this is titled, "Petshop of Horrors" don't be quick to assume it'll only terrify you. There's heartbreaking scenes as well as parts that will make you laugh. It makes a good manga because it doesn't only focus on one primary emotion.


And I appreciate it.


I won't ever stop recommending this manga to eager readers because it's definitely worth a glance.
