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. Insufferable Genius: Shiranui. While he's incredibly competent in veterinary practice, he's also condescending, arrogant and mean-spirited. 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? Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 3,648 articles in the main category, and specifying |topic= will aid in categorization.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. Dinosaur Sanctuary is a manga made by Itaru Kinoshita, and the research consultant is Shin-Ichi Fujiwara. The synopsis is as follows: 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! Author Appeal: Author Itaru Kinoshita's favourite dinosaur is Giganotosaurus. Naturally, its the focus dinosaur of the first chapter and the first animal Suzume works with at Enoshima Dinoland.

Career-Ending Injury: Masaru the Triceratops was once one of Japan's most popular captive dinosaurs, but he accidentally broke one of his horns. Although the injury was ultimately superficial, his popularity plummeted, leading him to be sold off to Dinoland and replaced by another Triceratops with fully intact horns. 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]Friend to All Children: Suzume. In her Establishing Character Moment, she consoles some schoolchildren terrified by the zoo's Giganotosaurus and helps them gain a new perspective on dinosaurs, in contrast to the other zoo staff, who find themselves unsure what to do with the frightened kids. Note, I'm not that well versed in Manga, my experience coming mainly from reading Nausicaa and Junji Ito, but when I saw someone discussing this book somewhere, I knew I had to look into it. And it is a great story for dinosaur enthousiasts. 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.

Fifteen years ago, Kaidou-san works with an Allosaurus, which escapes and heads to the general visitors area. Jurassic Park still has been made in the world of Dinosaur Sanctuary, as evidenced by the information sign of the Dilophosaurus exhibit clearing up misconceptions that it has a frill and spits venom (which suggests that the revival of Dilophosaurus occurred some time after 1993).Cynicism Catalyst: At the time of the Ichigo incident, Kaidou appears to be much more chipper and energetic than he is currently. From his retelling of the event, it's obvious that it affected him deeply. The first few chapters have already been released as volumes, and they've been published in English too, thanks to Seven Seas Entertainment. Seven Seas will release Mado Nozaki's Titan novel under its Airship imprint in September. The company describes the novel: Alternate-History Dinosaur Survival: In this world, a population of non-avian dinosaurs managed to survive the K-Pg Extinction Event on an island, and in 1946, they were discovered by humans who helped their populations grow through breeding programs. This was really good! (Even though I was surprised by how scientific it was even if in hindsight the blurb obviously says that. LOL!)

Ridiculously Cute Critter: Benkei, the baby Troodon Suzume is temporarily charged with taking care of. Suzume can't help but be overwhelmed by how cute he is when she first sees him. However, it doesn't last, as Benkei proved quite the troublemaker. A school group comes to Dinoland and they have a Giganotosaurus feeding show. The announcer, Kaidou-San compares how the teeth of Giganotosaurus are like knives, and this makes one of the children cry out of fear. Suma Suzume, a new dino-keeper, helps calm the child down and tells them how birds are dinosaurs. Kaidou-San shows Suma Suzume around Dinoland. Suma Suzume says how since the incident, there was a huge gap between humans and dinosaurs, and she wants to bridge that gap. Domesticated Dinosaurs: Dinosaurs are kept as attractions at zoos and animal sanctuaries like Enoshima Dinoland. Some dinosaurs like Sinornithomimus have even been bred for meat. Birthday Episode: Chapter 11 involves the park celebrating the 36th birthday of Hanako the Tyrannosaurus. Animal Lover: Suzume loves dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, with her main goal being to bridge the gap between them and humans.I was one of those dino-crazed kids who spent considerable amounts of their time wondering what the world would be like if there were still some dinosaurs around and we could go see them in a controlled environment such as, say, a zoo or something, so this series' premise sounded like targeted advertising when I first read it. The child in me is beside herself: this was a wonderful read and I loved it right from the first chapter.
