Dinosaur Sanctuary Vol. 1 (Dinosaurs Sanctuary)

Product Information

While the employees are discussing an upcoming shuffling of different exhibits, Suzume learns the guests will have access to interact with the Psittacosaurus roaming free through the park, and thinks about " Walking with Psittacos". Extinct Animal Park: The eponymous Enoshima Dinoland is a small struggling zoo that hosts about two dozen species of dinosaur note technically nineteen non-avian dinosaurs, four pterosaur, and one plesiosaur, ranging from small herbivores to giant carnivores. The series focuses on the day-to-day business of running the place, which is not too different from what real-life zoos deal with when it comes to their animals. All Animals Are Dogs: The second volume heavily deconstructs this trope, showing that while dinosaurs are not monsters, they are still wild animals that are often dangerous, and should not be treated like a pet dog or cat. Yamaga was killed by the Allosaurus he had cared for for fifteen years because he believed she had bonded with him, but when frightened by an unexpected event, she lashed out unpredictably as a wild animal does, mauled him to death, and almost escaped. Suzume later acts as a surrogate parent for a baby Troodon but finds even caring for a small hatchling is really tough because of how wily, energetic, and destructive it is.

Gyaru Girl: Asami, the girl who takes a liking to Masaru the Triceratops, is of the yamanba fashion. Here dinosaurs are depicted according to the most current paleontological understanding. Thus they have feathers (even large theropods, that were not necessarily feathered, as rhino's and elephants also don't have hairs) and even the way they lay down, or move about, or eat, is thoroughly researched. This is also shown by intermezzo's from the consulting paleontologist, who explains his reasoning for some depictions. The first few chapters have already been released as volumes, and they've been published in English too, thanks to Seven Seas Entertainment. Written by Itaru Kinoshita, the series began serialization in Shinchosha's Monthly Comic Bunch magazine on March 19, 2021. [2] Shin-ichi Fujiwara, a lecturer at the Nagoya University Museum [ ja], is serving as the series' research consultant. [2] As of April 2023, the series' individual chapters have been collected into four tankōbon volumes. [3]In 1946, someone discovered an island where dinosaurs had survived into the present. Through breeding and genetic manipulation, humans managed to increase their population and supercharge their popularity! Until, well...the unfortunate accident, when people's attitudes soured on the idea of visiting dinosaurs. This story follows a rookie zookeeper who is newly hired at Enoshima Dinoland, a struggling Dinosaur Sanctuary, and the fascinating creatures who need specialized love and care! Heartfelt Apology: Kaidou, feeling guilty for the suicide of Suzume's father, gives one to Suzume once he tells her of the infamous Ichigo incident. In a unique spin on the usual takes on these matters, she doesn't hold it against him in the least. In January 2022, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that they licensed the series for English publication. [4] Volume list [ edit ] No. There's a friggin triceratops named Masaru that loafs like a cat! I loved him so much, Masaru had to be my fave dino from the first volume. I kinda want a Masaru plush lol.

Kids Love Dinosaurs: The manga opens with a young Suzume enchanted with the dinosaur fossils at an exhibit. Beaming with happiness, she turns to her father and expresses her wish to grow up to become a dinosaur caretaker. Dinosaurs also prove popular with the groups of children who visit Enoshima Dinoland.Fluffy the Terrible: Some of the dinosaurs have surprisingly cute-sounding names, like Yuki the Giganotosaurus, Hanako the Tyrannosaurus and Ichigo the Allosaurus. In this case it serves to convey their status as just animals, not monsters. I just have to say, the male characters in this manga are really hot. I don't know why they're drawn like the prettiest of bishounen but they are. And I'm not complaining. lol The girls are cute too, but they don't look like idols the way the guys do. Probably my first proper foray into manga, and I'm loving it! It's basically what I've wanted to read about for a long time. Don't get me wrong, I liked both the first Jurassic park book (second one I still have to read) and the first two movies. (The jurassic world ones can go take a hike though.) But I also just want a dinosaur story that show's them off how they would behave realistically and how cool they are without all the gore. One that didn't focus on the horror aspect and how it's always just about dino and humans killing eachother. Or the those 2000's dino doc's that just focused on fighting? I think I hated those as a kid. Show me more of the daily life of dinosaurs, how they socialize, raise young and stuff, not just hunting and fighting. If you're looking for something similar, then I think Dinosaur Sanctuary is a good fit! Dinoman, a TV series that stars a humanoid Triceratops and is being rebooted as a movie series. Suzume is a big fan of it.

Can the keepers safely remove an obstruction from a Troodon’s throat? Can they help boost the popularity of a triceratops with a broken horn so he won’t be sold to another zoo? Did the vet catch the signs of kidney disease in the Dilophosaurus in time? If the concept of a dinosaur zoo reminds you of a certain film franchise, well, it’s almost impossible not to think of Jurassic Park while reading Dinosaur Sanctuary. The major difference is that in the manga, the park works like it was supposed to in the films: Rather than the carnivores escaping and attempting to eat the human beings, the suspense and drama of Dinosaur Sanctuary comes from the care of the perfectly secured dinosaurs.

The series is also notable for its hard aversion of Artistic License – Paleontology. All the dinosaurs you expect to have feathers are as fluffy as they should be, and an actual paleontologist, Dr. Shin-ichi Fujiwara, was consulted by Kinoshita for information on depicting the dinosaurs with the correct behaviours and anatomy, and each chapter is accompanied with a detailed scientific explanation justifying how the dinosaurs are portrayed in the story. Likewise, the dinosaurs are also anything but Prehistoric Monsters, and their interactions with their handlers are not too different from what real-life zookeepers deal with when it comes to modern animals. Seven Seas Entertainment is delighted to announce the license acquisition of the manga series Dinosaurs Sanctuary by Itaru Kinoshita. This richly detailed manga tells the story of a rookie zookeeper caretaking dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes, sure to delight dinosaur lovers of all ages. In the distant future, society has all but eliminated the need for a human workforce. Thanks to an all-powerful AI network known collectively as Titan, humanity is now free to indulge in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. But one day, hobbyist psychologist Seika Naisho gets a job offer from a mysterious man by the name of Narain Srivastava–one of only a handful of people in the entire world who is still traditionally employed. He wishes to enlist Seika's expertise in the wake of a sudden and inexplicable malfunction in the AI network: as a therapist for Titan itself.
