My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I LOVE Big Hero 6!
The movie made me laugh, cry and smile.
Now, there is a manga! Snapped it
up when I saw it at the book store. I
like it but there is one thing I really have to say about the manga version: it
DOES NOT follow faithfully to the movie.
That was my assumption when I first saw it. Of course, all the main elements were there. Like Hiro creating the microbots, Tadashi
dying, a mask man stealing the microbots, and Baymax. The main differences would be these two
things - The way Tadashi died was not the same at all. And Hiro actually is in college with his
older brother and a prolific inventor. Unfortunately,
Hiro is a bit more obnoxious.
The manga does good job of adding background stories to the
characters that the movie can’t capture.
The drawings are nice without being overly cute. I would say the words in the smaller bubbles
are really hard to read. All in all, fans
of Big Hero 6 should enjoy this reinvention.
The premise remained the same but with a lot of tweaking. However, if you are a purist, skip it. People who have never seen the movie can
still enjoy this without actually seeing the movie. All in all, I like it and definitely going to
get the next one.
