ディノサン [Dino-san] #5

Volume 5 of Dinosaurs Sanctuary continues the manga's refreshingly grounded take on what it might actually look like to care for living dinosaurs — and this cover captures that spirit perfectly, with a young man in a lab coat and scrubs resting his hand gently on the snout of a teal, red-crested dinosaur that stands nearly as tall as he does. The quiet intimacy between keeper and creature gives the series its distinctive warmth, a world away from the usual monster-movie approach to prehistoric life. If you've been following this 2023 Shinchosha series, volume 5 is exactly the thoughtful, beautifully rendered continuation you'd hope for.
