(Includes mini minor spoilers) "Made in Abyss - Anthology" is a collection of little short stories inside the world of Made in Abyss. Only read it after you have finnished the 8th volume of the main series. It's not a must read, but if you are a big fan of the main series and cannot wait for the next volume or chapter, then this one migt help to fil the gaps. Story 4,5/10: The Storys in the first volume range inbetween nice addition to totally weird and over the broad. It's kinda difficult to evaluate stroys from different mangaka, but I tried my best. Some of them arejust weird and superflous to put it in a nice way. The few good once even could be consideres canon, particulalry the once with a fresh trio. The storys for me are the weakest part and if there weren't the few good once I would have rated it worse and won't recommend reading it. So prepare yourself.

Art 7,5/10:
The Arts are most of the time really good. I even found myself question how it would appear if the series would have had a different illustrator. Some of the illustrator are well known so it doesn't wonder me. It might be the strongest part of this manga. I must add that one of the first coloured illustration looks so good I will never forget it. It shows Reg fighting against Bondrewd and wow what a good shot.

Character 3,5/10:
The Charcters from the main series in some stories are just fine. In the most of them the mangakas just made them weird in the weirdest way and ruined them. If you are curious how then go find out. The reappearing characters are a nice addition tho and I wish they would appear in the main series or at least in the following volumes. I have to correct myself this is the weakest part due to ruining the characters from the main series.

Enjoyment 5,5/10:
The Enjoyment was a okay. The art does the trick for me together with me really liking the main series. Some you can even consider funny. I haven't much to say cause it is just okay. Nothing special just a little time killer inside the world of made in abyss.

Overall 5,5-6
