Kate Hassler's Reviews

Obey Me! The Comic is a love letter to the fans that perfectly captures everything that made the mobile game great. It’s obvious that the author is a fan of the series, as they took great care to include many lines and small details directly from the app.

While the manga adaptation differs quite a bit from the events of the main story, I thoroughly enjoyed the changes. They showcased each character’s emotional struggles and growth and complimented the important aspects of the plot, which were kept faithful to the original.

Rather than romance, the manga focuses on character development and the familial relationship between the main character and the brothers. Even so, there are fan-service moments throughout that are sure to please fans of the series.

Making the main character a gender neutral sheep rather than a human was a brilliant move. Part of what makes Obey Me special is that anyone regardless of appearance or gender can enjoy the world and the story.

I highly recommend this manga to any Obey Me fans out there. Especially those who were unsatisfied with certain pacing issues in Season 1, which the manga drastically improves upon. The humor and charismatic characters are sure to be appealing to new fans as well.
