Reviews for Shimazaki in the Land of Peace 1

""Balancing action-packed fights and slice-of-life story can be difficult. But when it’s done well, it’s amazing. Stories like the aforementioned The Fable and Sakamoto Days, as well as SPY x FAMILY and Kill Blue, are masters of this. And so is Shimazaki in the Land of Peace."" - Kara Dennison, Otaku USA
