Editorial Reviews

"It’s rare to come across a manga that feels original, but Heaven’s Design Team, while owing a debt to previous wacky edutainment manga like Cells at Work, crackles with imagination… Recommended." -Otaku USA Magazine

"A weird manga that has no business being this good... basically what Cells at Work! does for human biology, Heaven's Design Team does for zoology." -Anime News Network

"Memorable and highly enjoyable characters... the manga swaps all religious subtext for something simple and enjoyable for people of all backgrounds." -Comicsverse

"Charming, educational, funny, and a breath of fresh air... A silly, feel-good read [that] makes learning fun." -AiPT
