Minecraft The manga The manga /

Ten-year-old Nico White has just unlocked his ability to craft new items without a crafting table, just like his adventurer father before him, and soon, Nico feels the pull to set out on his own. Within days, Nico meets and befriends a human named Gray, who is cursed to constantly look like a zombie. The two decide to travel together to look for the End of the World, a mythical place with inspiring treasures and people. Nico, as described, has one setting--adventure--and all of his page time is dedicated to his high-energy, positive approach to everything. He's fascinated by the world and brings a childlike wonder to every situation. Gray provides a realistic and balanced foil for Nico's enthusiasm. Seto expertly incorporates game material while smoothing out the blockiest of graphics to provide visually pleasing illustrations. There are plenty of references to the source material to keep game enthusiasts happy but also enough explanation to keep newcomers interested in the story. If you have readers who haven't been able to put down Splatoon or Pokémon, this is the next logical purchase for your library.
