RWBY: The Official Manga: The Beacon Arc, Vol. 1 by Bunta Kinami

5.0

Okay. Full disclosure. I was intrigued by the description of the book, but I had no idea as to its popularity until now. I am just blown away by the story and after watching the anime, the illustrations in this manga are spot on!

I am sure that fans of the anime series will love to have the manga series lining their bookshelves. The storyline in this book remains unchanged from the anime. There is still the same sense of excitement as Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang (RWBY) battle the Grimm and the Nevermore as part of their initiation in their first year at Beacon Academy. So, of course, because it is a series, you will have that cliffhanger of an ending with Roman Torchwick gracing the last few pages. Can't wait to read Vol. 2!

A fantastic read and I am so excited that I got to experience the popularity of RWBY in manga. Thank you NetGalley and Viz Media for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
