Review:
This is an anthology volume, by a ton of apparently new mangaka, and
each volume is apparently about one character. This volume was about
Ruby.
To note, I didn't recognize any of the authors. Some of them had
better art than others, and there was a variety of styles. There was
normal action plots, there were comedy and slice-of-life stories, and
there were a few chibi and 4-koma ones.
I haven't read much of RWBY stuff, and I haven't watched the show. So
I have very little to go by, aside from just reading some fun random
stories. Some of these stories were a little too cheesy for me, and
some were a little too random. I would like to think that it gave me
a little more idea of what the girls' relationship with each other
is. They're close, but still getting to know each other, it seems to
me.
I didn't mind this volume. But I will admit that I don't think I love
RWBY, at least not from what I've seen. I'm not sold.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
