Book Review: Disney Twisted-Wonderland - The Manga Anthology vol. 1


Short stories set in the world of Twisted Wonderland, based on the hit mobile game from Disney! The first installment in a collection of small but mighty adventures, featuring the characters and world of Twisted Wonderland. Each tale is written and drawn by a different manga creator!

Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Manga Anthology vol. 1 will be published on September 10, 2024. VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.

With a cover by the series creator Yana Toboso, this collection is jam-packed with a lot of wonderful stuff.

First off, there are nine full-color pin-up images. Some are very faithful to Toboso's style while others present interesting takes on the characters from the series so far.

Next up are sixteen (16) stories by as many manga creators. Running from eight to eighteen pages in length, the reader is given a wide sampling of vignettes set in the world of this series. While some of the characters we've seen a lot of before, others are ones we get to see a bit more spotlight on. And the artwork on these is very much in the same style as that of Toboso's previous volumes. As someone who very much enjoys the Twisted-Wonderland manga volumes so far, this was a fun outing.
