Welcome to Litsy!

Super cute and lighthearted mystery graphic novel, perfect for young mystery fans. I love the art style on this one and the way it can be used to introduce kiddos to detective fiction.

The outlandish fun continues. 🤪
Highlights for me in this volume include:
Cat chase while errand running- the ending! 😍
Volleyball rematch calling on the power of princess and wife 😉
Bonus story where Miku critiques her own dream's internal logic/premise for a magical girl transformation story 😆

I am so impressed by these books, informed by research (and even including unobtrusive references if you want to read more).

I think the fact that it's format is a graphic novel makes such a deep story inviting to young adults because it is easy to read. Many kids think graphic novels and comic books are just superheroes, but there are more options available to them, and I think this is a good example to show.

I think it is important for every student to be educated on all cultures because it is useful in classrooms as well as life after and outside of school. I loved the story of being able to appreciate and respect both cultures. It definitely brought to mind how depending on the demographics, students bring merging cultures.

This was a crazy ride and no surprise from the great late Anthony Bourdain.

Enjoy!

I was eager to get the next volumes, but I haven't been reading a lot in the last couple of days. I think I overdid it on reading challenges -- so it was nice to feel a bit more like tucking into this, and get a chance to read it. I have volume 4 ready as well, which is nice.

I'm veeery curious about the System in this one and if indeed it does want to use Jinwoo for something. Each progressive volume feels a bit darker...

Driving in the US and its fun roadside attractions and creative billboards is abruptly displaced by the lack of friendly signs. Instead, warnings, traffic, and automatic weapons to be searched are unsettling. La Mordida's possession of goods from travelers is roadside armed robbery. Many characters lose their precious items to La Mordida's bite. The culture of the US is stripped away and replaced with that of Mexico's.
