When Riko, a struggling high school dropout, stumbles across a mysterious boy on the run, she decides to take him under her wing. However, she discovers that there’s more to this boy than meets the eye. He can manipulate plants from his body and, even worse, the military is after him! Now must unravel the mystery behind his strange powers while trying to protect him from snipers.
A-Do, Vol. 1 by Amano Jaku introduces a fast-paced sc-fi manga that doesn’t feel too far off in the future. The world itself paints an interesting backdrop where people’s credit scores are attached to their IDs and affect everything they can buy and a wave of anti-immigration sentiment has hit Japan.
While the storyline itself isn’t the most original so far, it’s got mystery, action, heart, and a cool retro manga aesthetic, and, all and all, it’s an intriguing start to the series. I’m curious to see where the story goes from here because this first volume ends on a major cliffhanger!
Thank you, NetGalley and Kodansha, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
