Nov 26, 2024This story is rather sweet and has an innocent tone, is very reminiscent of The Girl from the Other Side in the relationship between the golem and Somali. In this first volume, it isn't quiet clear what gender Somali is, and and it's not a necessary part of the story. The golem is more a robot than an actual spirit, and probably genderless as well. Since we are being told the story through the perspective of the robot, it would make more sense that concepts of gender would be a little more complicated or unnecessary. The golem experiences joy and wonder through Somali's eyes, which heightens the purity and innocence of Somali's viewpoint, and contrasts with some of the darker overtones of the world they travel through.

Nov 23, 2024While it may not appeal to more action-minded manga readers, Somali and the Forest Spirit has much to offer. The artwork is simply beautiful and the story is sweet. Presumably future chapters will be more tense once the world is established and some sort of threat to Somali and her new dad will be introduced beyond the golem's limited life-span. Read Full Review
