MANGA REVIEW: NEW GAME


New game is a comedy slice of life manga by Shoutarou Tokunou, it follows the daily life of Aoba Suzukaze , a fresh highschool graduate as she joins a game company as a 3D artist. The main selling point of the manga is how unique and cute each of it's characters are . Just look at the pages below and you will instantly fall in love with the characters.

For anyone unfamiliar with 4koma manga,
On each page , the 4 panels on the right are
read first and then the 4 panels on the left.

As you may have noticed , it is a 4 koma manga which tend to work pretty well with the slice of life genre. The art style is really good and the interactions between the various characters give the manga a certain charm while keeping the conversations real and believable. The character designs are top notch , each of them have their own motivations , ambitions and challenges. All of them have different interests and outlook towards life and this diversity ensures a great time for the readers. The manga also does a pretty good job at character development which , in my opinion is one of the most important aspects for a slice of life anime or manga.

It also suprisingly portrays the struggle for game developers through its various comedic moments , I did not expect it to do that as initially it comes off as " look how cute all these girls are" type of manga and ofcourse that is indeed one of the aspects of it but the manga does not solely focus on that which is always appreciated. The comedy is well done , it's not something that will make you laugh out loud but it will certainly bring a smile to your face. Overall I would say New Game is a pretty good manga that I would recommend everyone to give a read to.

Thank you everyone for reading , follow me on twitter @allaboutanimee for regular manga and anime recommendations , share the blog if possible and have a nice day.
