This story follows a rookie zookeeper who is newly hired at Enoshima Dinoland, a struggling Dinosaur Sanctuary, and the fascinating creatures who need specialized love and care!

Dinoman, a TV series that stars a humanoid Triceratops and is being rebooted as a movie series. Suzume is a big fan of it. I just have to say, the male characters in this manga are really hot. I don't know why they're drawn like the prettiest of bishounen but they are. And I'm not complaining. lol The girls are cute too, but they don't look like idols the way the guys do.In the first chapter, when Suzume arrives at the zoo, she comforts a group of schoolchildren scared by Enoshima Dinoland's Giganotosaurus by explaining how dinosaurs aren't all scary through pointing out that birds are also dinosaurs, establishing her primary characteristics - her passion for and knowledge in dinosaurs, her desire to help people understand and connect with dinosaurs better, and her general kind and helpful nature. Seven Seas Entertainment is delighted to announce the license acquisition of the manga series Dinosaurs Sanctuary by Itaru Kinoshita. This richly detailed manga tells the story of a rookie zookeeper caretaking dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes, sure to delight dinosaur lovers of all ages.

Shown Their Work: The author puts a lot of research into reconstructing the series' dinosaurs, right down to how the bone structure of the dinosaurs would have allowed them to sit down. Characters who are veteran Dino-keepers and Dino-doctors are constantly making observations about how their charges move, sit, and behave. Research consultant Shin-ichi Fujiwara is even listed as a co-author, and each chapter ends with Fujiwara's insight into the various details considered in depicting the dinosaurs of Enoshima Dinoland.Kids Love Dinosaurs: The manga opens with a young Suzume enchanted with the dinosaur fossils at an exhibit. Beaming with happiness, she turns to her father and expresses her wish to grow up to become a dinosaur caretaker. Dinosaurs also prove popular with the groups of children who visit Enoshima Dinoland. Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 3,648 articles in the main category, and specifying |topic= will aid in categorization. Insufferable Genius: Shiranui. While he's incredibly competent in veterinary practice, he's also condescending, arrogant and mean-spirited.

Imprinting: When dinosaurs hatch, zookeepers have to pose as their respective species so the hatchlings can recognize their birth parents. However, Benkei the Troodon hatchling sees an un-costumed Suzume upon opening his eyes, so he imprints on her. a b 恐竜が絶滅しなかった世界を舞台に1人の新人飼育員を描く新連載、バンチで始動. Comic Natalie (in Japanese). Natasha, Inc.

[4] Volume list [ edit ] No. Danica Davidson of Otaku USA praised the story, characters, and extra notes from Fujiwara, noting that " Dinosaur Sanctuarydoes a good job of making [dinosaurs] like animals with personalities, rather than monsters in a monster movie". [13] Jonathan Greenall of Comic Book Resources praised the tone and art style. Additionally, Greenall felt the series does a good job of describing how to care for animals. [14] J. Caleb Mozzocco of School Library Journal also praised the artwork and characters. Mozocco felt the plot was "[ Jurassic Park but] the park works like it wassupposed to". [15] Can the keepers safely remove an obstruction from a Troodon’s throat? Can they help boost the popularity of a triceratops with a broken horn so he won’t be sold to another zoo? Did the vet catch the signs of kidney disease in the Dilophosaurus in time?Cynicism Catalyst: At the time of the Ichigo incident, Kaidou appears to be much more chipper and energetic than he is currently. From his retelling of the event, it's obvious that it affected him deeply. The name Troodon is used here with Enoshima's Niko and Vena, despite the name having been rendered scientifically dubious following an extensive re-examination of Troodon fossils reassigning the vast majority of material to Stenonychosaurus (which had been previously sunk into the Troodon genus in the 1980s). TLDR; young girl with passion for dinosaurs never grew up and became a dinosaur zookeeper in her twenties. And main villain seems to be capitalism, as it should be.

Ridiculously Cute Critter: Benkei, the baby Troodon Suzume is temporarily charged with taking care of. Suzume can't help but be overwhelmed by how cute he is when she first sees him. However, it doesn't last, as Benkei proved quite the troublemaker. All Animals Are Dogs: The second volume heavily deconstructs this trope, showing that while dinosaurs are not monsters, they are still wild animals that are often dangerous, and should not be treated like a pet dog or cat. Yamaga was killed by the Allosaurus he had cared for for fifteen years because he believed she had bonded with him, but when frightened by an unexpected event, she lashed out unpredictably as a wild animal does, mauled him to death, and almost escaped. Suzume later acts as a surrogate parent for a baby Troodon but finds even caring for a small hatchling is really tough because of how wily, energetic, and destructive it is. Animal Lover: Suzume loves dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, with her main goal being to bridge the gap between them and humans. Driven to Suicide: Suzume's father, Dr. Suma Ichirou, killed himself following the 2006 Ichigo Incident, as the public uproar around what happened completely destroyed his reputation. Kinoshita launched the manga in Shinchosha's Comic @Bunch magazine in March 2021. Shinchosha published the manga's first compiled book volume in September 2021.Probably my first proper foray into manga, and I'm loving it! It's basically what I've wanted to read about for a long time. Don't get me wrong, I liked both the first Jurassic park book (second one I still have to read) and the first two movies. (The jurassic world ones can go take a hike though.) But I also just want a dinosaur story that show's them off how they would behave realistically and how cool they are without all the gore. One that didn't focus on the horror aspect and how it's always just about dino and humans killing eachother. Or the those 2000's dino doc's that just focused on fighting? I think I hated those as a kid. Show me more of the daily life of dinosaurs, how they socialize, raise young and stuff, not just hunting and fighting. If you're looking for something similar, then I think Dinosaur Sanctuary is a good fit! Gyaru Girl: Asami, the girl who takes a liking to Masaru the Triceratops, is of the yamanba fashion. Despite being the smallest dinosaur park in Japan, Dinoland has the second-largest hadrosaur, and 3 out of the 4 largest megatheropods.
