Just finished reading the last chapters of Polar Bear Cafรฉ volume 1. I think it went pretty well, read 4 chapters per day. The start was a bit rough as the author also had to find the right balance with dosing the puns and events. Itโs also a cute manga and it shows with the cover and the fontstyle. I would say it is beginner friendly with horizontal text (might be one of the few manga that has it), furigana and short chapters. Then again I found myself looking at a dictionary faster as the amount of vocab used was more varied and you gotta want to know them puns. As itโs a size smaller than regular manga volumes, the text is also smaller. In most cases that wasnโt an issue, only one panel was very hard to decipher. I really liked reading it more as I got further along, particularly the longer chapters have the better conversations.
Tomorrow Iโll start reading volume 2, trying to keep this good pace going.
