ディノサン [Dino-san] #4

Volume 4 of Dinosaurs Sanctuary continues this quietly compelling manga about life inside a dinosaur park, and the cover captures its spirit beautifully — a calm, badge-wearing young woman strides forward alongside a feathered, vivid teal-and-white theropod that barely reaches her shoulder, the two rendered with a warmth that feels more like colleagues than keeper and animal. Creator 木下いたる (Kinoshita Itaru), with dinosaur supervision by 藤原慎一 (Fujiwara Shin'ichi), brings a grounded, scientifically minded aesthetic to the series that sets it apart from wilder dinosaur fare. If you're drawn to stories where humans and prehistoric creatures simply coexist, this 2023 volume from Shinchosha looks like exactly the right place to be.
