Dinosaur Sanctuary, Volume 1: 03/07/23

Dinosaur Sanctuary, Volume 1 by Itaru Kinoshita (2021) is the start of a manga about Jurassic Park but on a worldwide level. After finding a small island population of dinosaurs, scientists managed to bring back extinct species. Now these dinosaurs are kept in various reserves around the world.

Suma Suzume, our protagonist, has started work at a dino sanctuary that has fallen on hard times. She struggles through hazing by one of her male colleagues and trying her best to help during a medical emergency. Her chance to shine comes when she finds a way of turning a tragedy into a learning experience for guests.

Overall I liked this first volume. The pacing felt off in a few places, especially where the author had trouble balancing dramatic backstories with present day gags. The information, though, about the different species is pretty good and the artwork includes some dinosaurs with feathers.

Volume 2 releases on March 14th.
