Kino No Tabi, is a book that will appeal to those who like novels with exciting voyages and quests. - Girl's Life reader • TOKYOPOP has definitely found a winner for launching their brand new line of fiction literature. Sigsawa-senseiâ™s road trip tales are contemplative and introspective, allowing the reader to truly experience the journey part of the road trip like Kino herself. The rich world building might not be there, and some chapters may feel a bit repetitive, but Sigsawa-senseiâ™s road trip fables have a strong fairy-tale appeal to them that sucks you in. You never know where Kinoâ™s journey will take you, and itâ™s the anticipation of exploration on the road trip that makes this an engaging read. - AnimeonDVD.com
