The Mannamong - Volume 1

My grandson loved them

My daughter(11) fell instantly in love and asked for the next one in the series right away. Very pleased and excited for more!

my granddaughters love the series. She was so excited to get it for Christmas time. She is a fast and frequent reader.

I think my seven-year-old granddaughter is really going to enjoy this. She loves comics and these look like they're really well done. Lots of action!

My son is going into fifth grade and has struggled to read well though his comprehension is above grade level. We have found graphic novels help hold his interest. This one is definitely a win. He had difficulty putting it down!

I just started reading it and I’m hooked! The colors a beautiful and bright! The story it creative! I hope Book 3 comes out soon! ;)

The illustrations are wonderful. The story is way too long though for what it is. It could have been about half as long and as is, was too repetitive, and thus got boring. Had it been half as long, it would have been perfect.

The vibrant and cool graphics truly bring the enchanting world of mannamong spirits to life, making every page a treat for the eyes. The story of young Kali Teal, her mysterious illness, and her daring journey through a hidden world of mythical spirits is both gripping and inspiring. Perfect for kids aged 9-12, this book is not just a feast for the imagination but also packed with valuable lessons on bravery and resilience. A must-read for fans of fantasy and graphic novels!

LOVED the artwork. It was amazing. The story was confusing at times and things the main character would say seemed really grown up.Overall, worth reading.

The Mannamong is a captivating graphic novel that masterfully blends fantasy, adventure, and heartfelt lessons in empathy and forgiveness. Michael Adam Lengyel introduces us to the world of the Mannamong, mythical spirits created to guide and protect humanity.

The narrative is both exciting and introspective, making it a perfect read for middle-grade audiences and adults alike. The themes of second chances and self-reflection are woven seamlessly into the adventure, leaving readers with not just a thrilling story but also valuable life lessons.

Mannamong is an interesting and well illustrated comic book for kids. I enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to reading Volume 2.

The art in this book is excellent.

I loved this story and all of the graphics that were in the story! I am excited to see what happens next! I think kids would love this story too!

My 4yr old loves this book so much we had to buy the second one

This book is a fantastic start to a new series. The story is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the illustrations are vibrant and beautiful. It's a great read for both kids and adults. I'm excited to see where the story goes next!

Once again, another morsel that I got from Kickstarter! The story was unique and the art was beautiful! The characters were believable and felt real, especially the main character. As a kid, she was portrayed well and with depth. There was no mistaking that she was a youngster! I especially love the mannamongs and their designs! So gorgeous! I look forward to the next volume!

I bought this book a few weeks after its released since the cover design look great, but the main plot of the book didn't disappoint me.To not spoil too much about the book, the plot involves a rouge spirit who starts hanging around a girl making her sink and won't leave her alone, and the first book involves the girl wanting to get rid of him. The problem is that the girl is the only one who can see the spirits (expect for a man she meets later one), and whenever she tells her mom what's going on, she won't believe her.After reading it, the ending to the book with new characters introduced was a great cliffhanger going into the next book, and I can't wait to see how the series end in the future. It does remind me a little of if Pokemon, Yokai Watch, and Sonic The Hedgehog did a crossover in a wired way, and I look forward to seeing what book 2 brings.In summary, this series is a great read for both children and the adults who are children at heart like me.

This was a well illustrated, interesting start to the series that follows a young girl who gets caught in a fantasy world with blurred good vs evil lines. The book is well narrated and is a good comic for kids.

This book is a great start and it was great to refresh my memory, I'm immediately going to book two to re-read it as well.

I find reading children's book/books made for kids helpful and refreshing. I feel like they usually remind me of lessons that it seems like I have forgotten or just maybe not tried applying to a current situation I am struggling with at that time. The Mannamong is not an exception! I think that the messages about seeing through emotion and letting things not stress you out too much so you can investigate something's truth/objective facts is very powerful.It is hard to see Kali, her mom, and Tanto go through these heart-string-tugging things, though. It certainly leads me to wanting to read more. I think I cannot give the Mannamong a full rating until I read the whole story. The first book by itself is pretty slow. The coloring is beautiful. The characters mostly have pretty, detailed clothes and they seemingly have thoughtfully spun stories for their backgrounds. Their personalities also seem solidly followed and written, like real people's.
