Pinocchio vampire slayer is a fun story with some genuinely heartfelt moments. I think it might have hit harder if I'd read it in seperate installments instead of binging the collection.
The story was solid if at times simple, the artstyle rough but charming with some very impressive and original compositions. (Especially in the sections with lore like the woodcut scenes.) Sometimes it felt like I was missing a chunk of story when jokes mentioned adventures not covered in the graphic novel which was a shame. I did quite like the characters, especially the puppets from the puppet theatre. All in all, a solid read but it did feel like it was missing something.
