This book is an excellent reflection of the hit Nintendo game Splatoon 2。 Four Inklings bonded together over Turf War in Inkopolis Plaza come together in an epic competition against formidable opponents。 Will they win？ Telling you would ruin the book， so read it yourself！

Actually a pretty fun read！ Even though it has some geeky wording and it's based on a kids game， I find myself enjoying it。 I also love the fun and competitive aspect of it。 Actually a pretty fun read！ Even though it has some geeky wording and it's based on a kids game， I find myself enjoying it。 I also love the fun and competitive aspect of it。 。。。more

Had me laughing out loud。 The cast of characters are so fun; and the book has a subtle message of ‘winning doesn’t matter， having fun and being with your friends is what matters， I love that。 This book won’t make you think much， or at all really， but it will make you smile。 And sometimes that’s all we need。

Personally as a huge Splatoon fan I was disappointed reading this。 I don't get the hype。 And the names are absolute sh*t like they just name them after the gear。 The only thing holding it up is the art and Splatoon。 I don't recommend it you're a Splatoon fan。 Personally as a huge Splatoon fan I was disappointed reading this。 I don't get the hype。 And the names are absolute sh*t like they just name them after the gear。 The only thing holding it up is the art and Splatoon。 I don't recommend it you're a Splatoon fan。 。。。more

Quick read， D likes it b/c he and Andrew like to play the game Splatoons on the Nintendo Switch （and before that on the wii U）。 I haven't personally read any of these book in this series， but I read some reviews online and the character's pants fall down often in the books， I guess to be funny， and they "censor" the comic drawing with the squid character。。。 not my favorite book series that he's read， but man can he read through these books in a flash！ summer reading。。。。。 Quick read， D likes it b/c he and Andrew like to play the game Splatoons on the Nintendo Switch （and before that on the wii U）。 I haven't personally read any of these book in this series， but I read some reviews online and the character's pants fall down often in the books， I guess to be funny， and they "censor" the comic drawing with the squid character。。。 not my favorite book series that he's read， but man can he read through these books in a flash！ summer reading。。。。。 。。。more

This manga is a must read for any fan of the popular Nintendo games or honestly most manga fans who love cute little comedies。 The adorable art fits the world well and the story is super fun。 The cherry on top is the laugh-out-loud humor that I think will tickle any reader whether they’re young or an adult。 An enjoyable manga based on one of my all time favorite games！

First impression; A Nintendo based book？ Yes please！ How was it？ Well。。 Over all I think the book is at best OK but really I think it's better than a two star review compared to other books I've read。 I should also say I've never play Splatoon but I do have a decent understanding about the functions of the game。 CoverYou know this what I would expect a Splatoon Cover to look like。 Main character filling the entire image。 Have to give them credit that it is technically tied in to the back cover i First impression; A Nintendo based book？ Yes please！ How was it？ Well。。 Over all I think the book is at best OK but really I think it's better than a two star review compared to other books I've read。 I should also say I've never play Splatoon but I do have a decent understanding about the functions of the game。 CoverYou know this what I would expect a Splatoon Cover to look like。 Main character filling the entire image。 Have to give them credit that it is technically tied in to the back cover image to Showing you that is technically the captain， leading the team forward。 Bright colorful maybe a little predictable。InteriorI don't read many Manga and I have to give it credit it's incredibly brave and risky to take Nintendo brightest and most colorful game and boil it down to black， white and grey。 I can't go any farther without asking。 When did nudity become funny？ I don't mean just once。 This running joke is in the book seven times！ By the end of the series I can't tell if he's going to learn to keep clothes on or become a nudist。 Also what is the deal with Nintendo stripping their characters in books？ Happened to Mario in Super Mario Adventures comic collection。 With that weird part out of the way let I still think the characters are really charming。 Rider is probably the most interesting and deepest character in the book。 The fight strategy between Specs and Goggles is probably the highlight of the book and feels almost the most realistic。I have to admit the realistic squid did give me a chuckle。I do hope there's going to be more to Bobble Hat and Headphone than just their outfit personalities and smiling。 Overall it is as weird and quirky as you would expect from family friendly Nintendo all the way down to the footnotes。 。。。more

I really enjoyed reading about one of my favorite Nintendo Switch games， Splatoon 2。 Volume one of Splatoon is about the Turf Wars in Inkopolis。 ~ Koala ^-^

A confusing decision， this adaptation of the popular Nintendo online multiplayer video game does not adapt any of the story elements directly。 It rather tells an original story of a team of Inklings that are themselves competiting in the Turf War - the contest that comprises the primary gamemode of Splatoon proper。 Each issue in this volume sees the team face off against rival Inklings in a match of the Turf War - and while there's fun to be had， it is frustratingly repetitive and formulaic。Gran A confusing decision， this adaptation of the popular Nintendo online multiplayer video game does not adapt any of the story elements directly。 It rather tells an original story of a team of Inklings that are themselves competiting in the Turf War - the contest that comprises the primary gamemode of Splatoon proper。 Each issue in this volume sees the team face off against rival Inklings in a match of the Turf War - and while there's fun to be had， it is frustratingly repetitive and formulaic。Granted， this book is targeted at a younger audience - it is good-humoured， easy to read， and filled with expressive characters。 It doesn't need to hold anyone's attention for very long， and I imagine children will find themselves enamoured with the pleasant formula。 It begs another question， though - why did they choose to adapt Splatoon， a game about painting arenas in varied and highly saturated colours， into a format that is solely greyscale？ 。。。more

it's a splatoon manga so i'm not really expecting much from it and it was funny to read like it's enjoyable as someone who loves the game （and i have to be biased in loving Rider since he uses a gold dynamo roller and so do i。。。 but i would also die for bobble hat and headphones） BUT i don't understand why the manga is structured the way that it is。 it seems to me like it should be one battle per volume and working up to S+ ranks （which don't really matter in turf wars？ The ranking is for ranked it's a splatoon manga so i'm not really expecting much from it and it was funny to read like it's enjoyable as someone who loves the game （and i have to be biased in loving Rider since he uses a gold dynamo roller and so do i。。。 but i would also die for bobble hat and headphones） BUT i don't understand why the manga is structured the way that it is。 it seems to me like it should be one battle per volume and working up to S+ ranks （which don't really matter in turf wars？ The ranking is for ranked matches？） i just feel like the series could have had a plot of an underdog team practicing and having one match per volume to win the tournament， but instead 4-5 matches were crammed into one volume？ And it left me unable to really care or understand what was happening？ Like i get it's splatoon so who cares about having an actual plot but it's just so weird to me that they didn't even try。 。。。more

This novel is about Inklings， who can change through squid and the human form。 There are also turf wars that they play in。 This book is about team blue， who consist of Goggle， Headphones， Glasses， and Beanie。 These are their actual names。 And they also face the warrior is an S+。 There are ranks and the Blue teams are pretty bad

Content warnings: use of （paintball） gunsI started playing Splatoon 2 in April this year and I have been loving it ever since。 Thought I’d give this a bash coz Splatoon + reading seems like a good combo and I was right！ I’ve not managed to play Splatoon 1 yet so I missed out on some of the references， but it was a fun light comic read！

it was good。 my favorite match was against team pink with aloha， a pro player that can dodge almost any move。

This is one heck of a fun， awesome book （well， manga）！ The actions got intense， the characters are cool and funny （especially Goggles）， and it’s definitely like the games。 The play-by-play of each match is unique， and I like it。 I can’t wait to see what Team Blue will be up to next！

My sister is a big Nintendo Fan。 In fact， I love Nintendo too。 Splatoon 2 was one of the many Switch games I've played and I have enjoyed it a lot。 So when I found out there was a Splatoon manga， I got excited。 A Nintendo property as a manga！？ HELL YES！However。。。This was pretty cringey to read。 There are parts that I enjoyed and laughed at， but the story for this first volume follows a similar pattern。 Goggles shows up without clothes， blue team almost loses， blue team does good， INKZOOKA！， then My sister is a big Nintendo Fan。 In fact， I love Nintendo too。 Splatoon 2 was one of the many Switch games I've played and I have enjoyed it a lot。 So when I found out there was a Splatoon manga， I got excited。 A Nintendo property as a manga！？ HELL YES！However。。。This was pretty cringey to read。 There are parts that I enjoyed and laughed at， but the story for this first volume follows a similar pattern。 Goggles shows up without clothes， blue team almost loses， blue team does good， INKZOOKA！， then， blue team wins。 End of Chapter。 That's it。 That's the entire story。In fact， there doesn't seem to be any story whatsoever。 It's just turf wars put onto a page with one dimensional characters。 This is excessively juvenile stuff and I was pretty disappointed to find out that most of the time there is no tension as blue team always wins。 If they lose in the next volume， I might become more interested in this so called "Story" but right now this was a incredibly weak debut。The only things that were surefire hits was the art style and few moments of funniness。 But even then those are few and far between。 You would think that a Splatoon manga would appeal to everyone， including the hardcore Japanese fanbase for this game that are not all kids but adults as well。 A Splatoon manga should appeal to everyone and not just young kids。 I was struggling a bit with the humor and storytelling with this book。 However， there are some good moments in it， but the turf wars are basically the same。 The parts I enjoyed the most were when they were out of the turf wars and in Inkopolis。 Those moments of world building were really good。I'll continue on to the second volume， but if it doesn't improve， I'll probably just give these two volumes for my sister to read。 She'll probably enjoy it much more。 3/5 。。。more

If you don’t know what’s platoon is。。。。。。 it’s ok to read this book！ Because it has a small but understandable explanation-mini-manga at the back， so it made a lot of sense to me！ It is a funny humorous type of book！
