At first glance, Tsuredure Children seems like a redundant rom-com with the same lovey-dovey theme running through every tale. Tsuredure Children is quite brilliant in that it takes what anime does extremely well, shallow relationships and makes them hilarious and quite deep.

Leonardo da Vinci built a wooden robot. That’s pretty much all you need to hear about Monstro Mechanic #1 to know whether or not you’ll be at all interested in it. I actually saw a promo for this back in another AfterShock book (I can’t remember which one), but I only skimmed past it, so the title and the robot were the only things that stuck with me. I wasn’t even necessarily interested until I got three or four pages in and saw, yes, that was indeed Leonardo da Vinci. From there, I realized he must be the one who built the robot, settled in for a good read, and that is indeed what I got.
