MANGA: Midnight Radio

Midnight Radio – Iolanda Zanfardino

An intriguingly interwoven tale of four lives changed by a mysterious late-night radio broadcast that wakes them up from their mundane existences. Each tale speaks to different social issues without pandering to a political agenda: LGBT+ rights, racism, social network addiction, and the difficult decision between settling down versus following your dreams. Each tale is told in a vivid, polychromatic illustration style that flows from one character to another and back again in a uniquely identifiable fashion

Midnight Radio tackled social issues and tried to be meaningful but does not really say anything new. The delivery was flat. It was kind of predictable. I was bored.

On the upside, loved the polychromatic illustrations! It helped me follow the 4 interconnected stories and it’s nice to look at.

P.S.

I received a copy of Midnight Radio from Lion Forge via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
