Quirky Cat
Summary:
Nagi tends to spend most of her time alone, and it isn't entirely by choice. She and her father live in an isolated home, far into the mountains. It's safe, which is important during these post-apocalyptic times.
Unfortunately, Nagi's father tends to travel often, leaving her alone. Enter her new and entirely unlikely friend – a giant spider. This creature is the friend that Nagi has always needed. They add brightness to her daily life and offer safety as needed.
Review:
Huh. Giant Spider & Me Vol. 1 has got to be one of the more interesting series I've read lately, and I think that's saying something. It should probably go without saying – but don't check out this series if you're arachnophobic. Seriously.
As with the first for many series, Giant Spider & Me Vol. 1 is sometimes a bit slow. We have to learn about the world and Nagi's life. Once that's settled, it's time to see the unique dynamic she and her giant spider friend have formed.
There is something so utterly sweet about this series. I think a lot of it has to do with how innocent Nagi is. The world may have fallen apart, but she hasn't lost that childlike innocence. Okay, her friend helps too. There's no denying that.
Highlights:
Adorable Spider
Fantasy
Post Apocalyptic
Slice-of-life
Will I continue the series? Maybe
