Big Hero 6, Volume 1: 12/19/19

Big Hero 6, Volume 1

Shortly after Big Hero 6 hit the screens, a manga adaptation of the film was announced. That ended up being a two volume affair by Haruki Ueno.

Volume 1 covers the first half of the film, more or less. There is more emphasis put on the relationship between Hiro and Tadashi. It gives more insight into the heart-wrenching depression Hiro falls into when his brother is killed.

The artwork is of course different. But beyond the manga stylings, there are other differences. San Fransokyo and the university are reimagined.

With just enough changed about the city, the characters, and their motivations, I wish this series had been allowed to extend beyond the narrative range of the original film.

Four stars
