I admit to watching Marry Christmas Charlie Brown and It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown almost yearly but knowing very little about the man who created them. This Manga has gone a long way to fixing that. This Manga was packed with information the end also had several pages of photos and fun facts. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this Manga and if you have ever gotten joy from Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and friends I highly recommend checking this out.

I highly recommend this enjoyable, quick book. I grew up looking forward to Peanuts in the newspapers each week, and it was fun to learn more about Charles Schulz the man and his life story.
As a manga, this was a very easy read, very well done. I had no trouble following it, as I have read manga before. I do wish there had been a reminder at the beginning that manga is read right to left for those who are unfamiliar with this format. I settled right in to reading though and finished in about 24 hours.
You will not regret grabbing a copy of this unique biography for an entertaining insight into an American legend. I look forward to reading more in this upcoming series.

Thanks to Udon Entertainment and NetGalley for the digital copy of this book; I am leaving this review voluntarily.

What a lovely, lovely book. For generations of young people who may have never seen Charlie Brown and the gang, or maybe those who have, this Manga biography of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz is a don’t miss. From the illustrations to the story itself, it was a hit!

You may know the story of Charles M. Schulz: a boy who loved drawing, served in WWII, went to art school, had an unrequited love, and slowly but surely, built up his skills as an artist to get his own daily comic named Peanuts. The book lovingly shows the sadness, shyness and anxiety that Schulz felt all his life in a relatable way and shows that it is possible to have a good and successful life despite those issues.

I thought the personal matters regarding Schulz’s first marriage and divorce were handled well, as were many important events in the Peanuts timeline, showing how Snoopy originally walked on four legs. This is a respectful and wonderful tribute to a true artist, whose works live on today.

By one of the cutest books I have ever read. I’m familiar with mangas so reading it in a different format than the one I’m used to was not that big of a hassle. But it was nice reading about Schulz’s life and seeing how the famous animations of Peanuts came about. It’s still a popular cartoon and it all started because a boy had a dream of becoming a famous cartoonist. This is just a reminder to keep shooting for the stars.

A cute and charming dramatized biography (what is that called in comic terms? Or does 'biopic" still apply) of the creator of Peanuts. Like many, I grew up with Peanuts as part of my life, spending hours reading the Golden Celebration book my parents kept on the coffee table. I think this manga manages to capture a similar bittersweet adolescence feeling that the strips have, of innocence that complements a sense of maturity rather than working against it.

Plus it was cool to learn tidbits about how Peanuts surprisingly ties into the moon landing, and to learn that Snoopy has his own day recognized in Japan. Even the Peanut cookies I picked up at my local Asian store couldn't have prepared me for that tidbit, to learn that something I grew up with has touched people worldwide. But I digress. I would recommend this readily to anyone who's a fan of Peanuts! It definitely helped me deepen the already fathoms deep respect I had for Charles Schulz.

I have been a Charles Schulz fan since I was a little kid. This was a fun read. When I was a small child I lived in Santa Rosa and went to his ice rink often. I even had a birthday there.

The manga images were great. Something i would recommend.

I know about as much about Peanuts and Charles Schulz as probably the average person, and never have really gone out of my way to learn more about him. This manga did a really great job of making me interested in him for really the first time.

I did feel like there was more detail in here than maybe there needed to be, but also people who are more invested in Charles Schulz would probably appreciate that.

I liked the illustration style and really liked the pages that were full colour. The mangaka did a great job blending their own style with Charles Schulz cartoons.

It was really fun to read this story about the creator of the peanuts and his story in a Manga version. I really like how it was just a good story and not like a documentary. It made you really enjoy reading about his life and the journey that he took before and after the peanuts became what we still love and enjoy today!

This is such a beautiful story. Great for adults and children. Wonderful way to learn about history and a kind man who is a big part of our pop culture. I absolutely adore the art style. The pacing is perfect to keep me enthralled every step of the way.
I'm convinced that graphic novels and manga are the best format to read nonfiction as it gives so much life and depth to the stories.
I especially love the timeliness at the beginning and end of the story, that was very helpful. And the real pictures at the end.

This is the first biography that will stick with me for a long time. I even got teary eyed a few times. I will be adding this to my shopping list. And recommending it to moms as a nonfiction read to add to their children's learning curriculum.

This was charming. I have read a couple of other graphic novel biographies semi recently, and this was by far the best. Focusing equally on the artist's life and his work, with lovely illustrations and anecdotes. The supplemental timelines and photographs at the end were a nice touch as well.

A fitting tribute.

Highly recommend! Wonderfully engaging illustrations combined with interesting biographical information kept me reading the book in one sitting. Great end notes for fans of Peanuts cartoons.

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this graphic novel

This was a fun read mostly for me except f0r the part of tye unhappiness that happened in his life, this was a fast read and also loved finding out how he for decades worked on snoopy etc...

This is a great book for children or anyone who's interested in finding more information about the artist/ cartoonist and about snoopy ( its quick, easily digestible, with engaging imagary/art throughout).

Definitely a book I will be buying to add to my graphic novel collection.

Amazing, the drawings are really cute and the story is really beautiful.
it traces the whole life of Chales Schulz and the birth of peanuts.

beautiful beautiful beautiful

I highly recommend it
