This series is so fun and educational. I love how chaotic all the characters are. And I really enjoy the real animal encyclopedias. I learn so much whenever I read this series, though I'm not sure how much I'm actually retaining. That dig at humanity about the cows had me cackling. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

If you've read this far into the series, you likely know what to expect from Heaven's Design Team - short, episodic scenes which explore the quirks and designs of individual animals, with relatively little in the way of character development or overarching storyline. There are occasional glimpses of new lore about the setting - for example, in this volume we learn that God is the name of the company Shimoda works for in addition to being the name of God himself. Also, as a company name it stands for General Omnipotence Development company (ironically, since they apparently outsource not only all their designs but also the production of approved animal designs).

This volume ranges a bit further afield than some of the earlier ones, in that it covers things like phytoplankton, viruses, and a section about cows that focuses specifically on their effects on global warming. Overall it's still the same fun, interesting, and educational manga it's been up to this point.

This series always brightens my mood. Loved the new animals in this one, and especially liked the 2 male characters unexpectedly getting a gender swap due to testing of a new animal going on. Usually that kind of thing is cringe for me as a person under the trans umbrella, but this one handled it well. One guy said he didnt look different and his eyelashes didnt even grow and another character explained to him that females use makeup to give that effect and it wasnt biology and no one did any creepy sexualization of anyone (which is the main purpose a lot of gender swap tropes tend to do, in my opinion). Anyway, this was just fun.

Always leaving things on a cliffhanger is not great, because by the time the new volume comes out I’ve always forgotten where we were before… 😅 Once I got over my confusion I went back to liking it as usual.

The formula for this series continues to work delightfully. I truly enjoy the comedy and recognition of ridiculous.
