Review
The Wandering Schoolgirl: Book 01 debuts a lighthearted graphic novel series following Breanna Cota, a young Hispanic girl called upon to save the princess of a faraway land... a land that is peculiarly reminiscent of Japanese anime, from the Chibi village filled with perky tiny girls to fierce mecha-suit battles! The princess is under a terrible curse of seven governors, and until the curse is lifted, she will embody each of the governor's worst traits - sloth, envy, gluttony, anger, lust, covetousness, and deadliest of all, pride. Aided by a magical talking backpack shaped like a pig and other friends, Breanna must break the spell by defeating each of the seven, starting with the lascivious Governor of Lust! Humorously poking fun at the conventions of Japanese popular culture television ("try attacking without letting her know what you're going to do," Breanna suggests to a warrior who insists on yelling things like "Extreme Neon Blast!" whenever he fights), The Wandering Schoolgirl doesn't take itself too seriously and as a result the story breezes by so quickly the reader is left eager for the next installment. The black-and-white artwork is in a simple, uncluttered style that is easy on the eyes and fits the upbeat tone of the story perfectly. Highly recommended for all ages, and especially for fans of Japanese anime and manga. --Midwest Book Review
