*I received an eARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

I adored the film adaptation of Suzume when I saw it in theaters, so I was really excited to see this volume of manga up on NetGalley. While I liked the art style here, especially the color pages at the beginning, I think if I hadn't seen the film I wouldn't have enjoyed this very much. 

In this volume Suzume meets Souta, discovers a door to a new world and begins her adventure finding the keystone. Generally with adaptations, I find the screen version glosses over details from the book, but in this case I think the manga and movie follow each other pretty faithfully, which left me a little disappointed because I was hoping for more depth in the manga. I do think this was a gorgeous read and will likely pick up Vol. 2 when it's released, but until then I recommend watching the film!
