Splatoon, Vol. 3(English version)

I enjoyed this book quite a lot. Don't recommend for children, but its very good.

Great book and addition to the series! If your a fan of the game you will enjoy it!

My daughter loves this series. Great comic book for kids who love Splatoon!

My kid loves this series.

Daughter loves splattoon,when I got her these books she was so excited and it’s nice to see her reading then being on a iPad

Even though a new story arc, old characters return from past volumes. Best to read in order or release.Re-living Hero Mode in the main story campaign in Splatoon 1 game, but with the manga characters.Very brief in terms of story compared to the game. Only see battle between some octolings, and first boss of the game, and against DJ OctoavioThe cast then meets up with a new character Gloves who carries duelies as main weapon and has a new trendy fashion senseThis in turn, transitions into Splatoon 2, where team Blue enters a new tournament==Now onto impression of the manga series as a whole (up to volume 4).Book reads from right to left.In black and white. No color except for front and back cover. Very disappointing since the game has huge emphasis on color (due to ink). Instead, a lot of exposition is involved in stating colors and names (some inklings look the same with exception of clothes). Art work in general is very good, not as great as the 2D promo art for the game, but decent enough that it makes for a enjoyable read.Character names are simple and based off of what they wear to better distinguish them from one another since some inklings look the same and the fact that there's no color panelsVery basic in terms of explaining game mechanics. Focuses more on characters and comic relief.Manga has unorthodox ways of winning matches. Similar to how the Pokemon anime vs game where Ash tells his pokemon to do a move that not even possible in game.Pokemon example:Tells Pikachu to grab onto Onix's head and use thunderbolt as if it's a lighting rod, or ask Bulbasaur to vine whip a side of a mountain to create an avalanche to make a distraction, making the opponent's pokemon to look the other way then tell Bulbasaur to use razor leaf followed by tackle to finish it off when the opponent's pokmeon isn't looking.Anyway back to Splatoon. Some examples of this in the manga series are:-Riding on a point brush, while using a splattershot-Dodge seeker bombs between legs-Throw teammates while in a bubble shield at opponents-Use food as distractionManga does not focus on a epic quest to save the world like in the main campaign of the video games. Focus is more on characters and matches with the moral of the story being friendships and having fun vs being serious and competitive.There are some reoccurring themes in the manga like showing off main protagonist (Googles) always snacks on pickled plums, how he like to pull down inklings pants. There are some nudity in the manga, but it's censored by splatoon logo and done so in a comic fashionFormat in most volume include: 3-4 story chapters, 1 prequel or filler and an almanac on newly introduced charactersSummary of volumes I've read:Volume 1:Intro to main group, S4 and world buildingVolume 2:Continuation of S4 rivalry. End of story ArcVolume 3:Boss battle battle with main villain Splatoon 1 (game)New fashion/weapons.Intro to Splatoon 2Prelims of new tournamentVolume 4:Build up to semi finals.Go into the formidable Emperor characterCrusty Sean shop/exploration of Inkopolis Square

Pretty funny ongoing manga. They have almost resolved the first arc by this point and I'm still really enjoying it.

My reluctant reader has read these over and over!

i’ve seen many people complaining about it being wrong, yet you read the book backwards.

My favourite part was when goggles woomy all over the turf and won the battle (sorry for the spoiler)

El cómic es en inglés, para los fans del videojuego les va encantar

Quelle déception d'entendre mon fils me dire : "mais Papa, je ne cromprends rien à ce qui est écrit !". Pas sûr qu'il était précisé que le livre était en anglais à la commande. Mauvaise surprise !

Great comic book (more like a small novel in pages actually) of the splatoon series. It’s been translated from the Japanese originals so the book and comic panels read from right to left. Have to get used to that at first.The art inside is not in colour at all, so it’s printed in greyscale tones and on somewhat sandy paper. The cover is quite nice though, printed in bright colours and thick shiny paper. If you’re a fan of the series, give these a go.
