Invite any young dinosaur lover into a world where ancient giants walk again — but now with the care and compassion of modern zookeepers. The first three volumes of Dinosaur Sanctuary follow the journey of a rookie zookeeper at Enoshima Dinoland, as she learns how to care for dinosaurs large and small — from herbivores to carnivores — while navigating the challenges of running a dinosaur sanctuary in a world that nearly lost its faith in these creatures.
What’s Inside:
-
Dinosaur Sanctuary Vol. 1: The thrilling beginning — dinosaurs were rediscovered in 1946, but a tragic incident caused dino-mania to disappear worldwide. In the aftermath, Enoshima Dinoland struggles to survive. The story begins as a kindhearted rookie keeper joins the staff, determined to help save the park.
-
Dinosaur Sanctuary Vol. 2: The stakes deepen — readers learn the truth about the incident that shuttered many dinosaur parks, and the rookie keeper begins caring for everything from baby Troodons to a senior T. rex. The volume mixes drama with heart, showing the real challenges and joys of caring for living dinosaurs.
-
Dinosaur Sanctuary Vol. 3: Time to settle in — after her orientation period ends, the keeper works alongside veteran staff to establish her permanent role. As she trains under department heads and cares for stegosaurs and pachycephalosaurs, the sanctuary’s world comes into clearer focus.
Why this set makes a great gift:
- It brings together the first three volumes — a satisfying beginning arc that introduces the world, characters, and central themes.
- The mix of scientific realism (dinosaurs treated as living animals) and accessible storytelling sparks curiosity about paleontology, animal care, and ecosystems.
- Perfect for kids or teens (and even grown-ups) who love dinosaurs, nature, and stories that balance adventure, emotion, and learning.
- A thoughtful, cohesive set that works equally well as an introduction to manga or as a gift for young readers who enjoy imaginative, creature-focused stories.
Whether it’s a birthday present or a way to introduce someone to a story full of wonder, care, and dinosaurs brought back to life — this set delivers.
