Splatoon, Vol. 4 (4)

In this volume the team tries there luck on reaching the semi-finalsAll S4 members team up and enter the tournamentFiller episode with Crusty Sean and debts that needs to be repaidExploring shops around inkopolis anda lot of build up for Emperor and how he's the person to beat in the 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

The book was great. There were no negatives.

The series is really good but in this book I caught a couple of mistakes. Firstly I saw that the stores in the square got mixed up, where it says shoes it says food and food said shoes. The next thing was that in the inkling almanac the team members gear and name of the team members were switched and it's confusing.

A fantastic Voleme, and my personal favorite of the series so far!Goggles and the rest of Team Blue are doing their best to win the Square King Cup, but so is their competition. We see old friends and new enemies in this Volume.My favorite part is how the side characters get more attention and development. It’s very nice to see.

Comic book style, I have no clue what’s going on but my 8 year old loves it. Also it reads from right to left.

Splatoon fans will love this series of books! Personally recommend for kids age 8 or older. Huge fun. Immerse yourself in Inkopolis!

Got this for my son who loves reading these Comics.

My daughter loves the game and she loves this book

Lo más decepcionante del volúmen 3 es que:1) Hay un capítulo perdido2) No supieron crear una buena historia para el Single Player Mode, sino que es más una condensación de este, y no una muy buena.En este volumen se regresa a la formula establecida en lso episodios pasados, pero esta vez en el escenario de Splatoon 2, y ciertamente es disfrutable de leer, aunque es una lástima que no aprovecharan para dar tips para el juego.

Amazing books recommended for any Splatoon fan. Reads right to left as per standard Japanese Manga

ok

Another nice entry in this series of books. Love the colourful covers. The manga storie inside is well illustrated in black and white.
