This manga is fantastic for reaching and motivating students in a time where graphic novels are exceedingly popular. It takes a unique approach to sharing a Disney movie that is loved by many. Students who love graphic novels and chapter books with pictures and graphics. This type of book is not for everyone but there is definitely an audience within upper elementary and middle grade students.

I love monsters inc. I just wasnt a fan in this type of style. I don't think this style is my sort of thing. But over all for others who enjoy this I think it was good.

I loved the movie and the book was a great way to go back memory lane. It made me want to watch the movie once more. I did expect it to be coloured but nevertheless it was still a fun read.

3 stars.

I think this is really only going to appeal to manga fans or serious Monsters Inc fans. Those in the middle area probably won't enjoy it so much. The details in the illustrations seemed a bit too basic, even for manga, but the story was true enough to the original story which I quite liked. Overall, it was good and I did enjoy it.

This is my first manga book and it is definitely a style to get used to. The artist style was nice. It is easy to connect with the movie. It is easy to imagine the scene of each page in the movie. It was easy to follow and not a word for word repeat of the book which was nice. Thank you NetGalley for the free digital copy to review.

I am not familiar with the manga style and had a difficult time adapting to it. It was plainly stated in the description but I didn’t even know what manga was. As such, I was unable to review it adequately. I believe the target age range may also have this difficulty. The physical book may make reading it easier than the Kindle version I was using.

I do note, though, that the illustrations were broad and friendly. Flipping through it, it seemed to follow the movie.


I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion or ratings of this book.

Loved the movie, love manga, but this tome just felt like it missed magic.
The whole thing seemed a bit... greedy.

PROS
I think the highlight of this manga is the art. Monsters Inc just got a lot fluffier and I loved it. The scenes are a funnier adaptation from our masterpiece and I found it all so beautifully done! Disney and manga lovers will need a copy of this volume on their shelves asap!

CONS
Unfortunately, the story was a bit reduced. I understand it, as it takes longer to tell a story through manga than it does with a book, but my Disney heart hurt.

COVER ANALYSIS
I simply adored this artist’s drawing style! It is sooo fluffy! I think that creating a manga version of a 3D character is way harder than creating one for a 2D character, so I’m enchanted with what I saw from the start! =D

RECOMMENDED FOR
Disney lovers!

While cute and pretty true to the film, this would not be good for any young readers who have not seen the movie. It would be very hard to follow for those who are brand new to the Monster's Inc world, and not because of the art or manga-format but because the story jumps a bit and misses some plot-holes.

This magna about Boo and monsters is comic version of movie.
.
Story is aptly illustrated and you tend to imagine scene of movie at each page. It is stikingly similar. It seems screenplay of movie is fixed as two dimensional work on pages of magna.
.
Innovation and any new additions are missing.
It is hard to draw monster factory and its so many gates and strange ghosts but cartoonist has done ample justice to story.
.
When fast movements and gates are drawn, some of the fizz of magna is lost. That is expected after one has seen great animatios in the movie.
.
.Overall nice magna but not a blow you away kind of art. No big characters or full page highlight event.

This was my first experience with Disney Manga. Was sure what to expect, but ended up really enjoying and so did my oldest child. Monsters Inc. is one of her favorite movies so it's always fun to read books with her about her favorites.

It was a cute enough book, but didn't love the artwork enough to totally love it. But it was enjoyable and something kids might enjoy. It was different having Disney manga characters though.

This book was received as an ARC from Diamond Books in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I am a huge fan of Disney Books especially Disney Manga. It was such a pleasure to revisit the story of Monsters Inc. with outstanding artwork of the original characters retelling the story of Sully, Mike and the rest of the monsters collecting more screams so they can use them as power to keep their industry going. One night Sully and Mike come across Boo in a scare and she ends up following them back to Monsters Inc. and chaos breaks loose. It is so heartfelt to see the monster and human relationship flourish and blossom as Boo and Sully's did. We can't wait to have this be added to our graphic novel collection.

This will definitely be considered adding to our JGraphic Novel collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This was a first time experience with a Disney Manga and my kids enjoyed revisiting the original Monsters, Inc. story. The illustrations were neat and it was easy to read. We noticed a few parts in the movie that weren't shared in this book, but it was still really good. We're looking forward to more in the future.

4****

I really enjoyed this! The pictures were great! The artist is very talented and I really enjoyed seeing it in manga form. The plot line was also quite engaging and fun to read. Both my young kids and I loved it!

A must have for Monsters, Inc. Fans!

Lovely comic book. Te first story, Zero's Journey is so nice, just loved him. The, Wall*E is so so cute, just like in the movie. i find some nice graphics in this book.
Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for this nice copy. I really enjoyed it.

So disappointed that I can't read and review this title. I only read Kindle copies.

Thanks for the opportunity
