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.

Heaven’s Design Team Review
5/5 stars
This will be a spoiler free review. Onto the review!
Do you remember being a kid, going to the library, and picking out a handful of books about random topics from the nonfiction section? This manga series brought back all those memories for me. I used to read all kinds of informative books about stuff like spies, cats, medieval times, whatever I was feeling like learning about at the time. When did I stop doing that?
The reason this series makes me feel like that is because of how this series works. It’s about the angels in heaven who design the animals based on prompts from god. In each chapter, they have 2-5 prompts they have to fulfill. If there are a lot of them, they sometimes combine them, so that one animal has multiple qualities. Then they submit the designs and see what the design team says. If it works out, then the animal gets completed and put on earth. If not, they have to adjust their design.
This series doesn’t really have any kind of big story or anything. It’s just these angels designing animals. That’s why it feels so much like reading kids nonfiction books. Each chapter ends with an overview of the animals they invented, giving you real world facts about each animal. I was so excited each chapter to be able to read all the fun facts about the animals. Many of them I then felt compelled to look up more about, because either I learned something new about them, or didn’t even know that animal existed at all.
This series made me feel like a kid again, discovering new and exciting things at the library. Ever since I’ve started working at a library, I occasionally pick up kids books to read, because they’re just so fun. Sometimes I read silly little picture books. Other times I head over to nonfiction and see what subject catches my eye. I cannot recommend doing this enough. You might learn something new, or you might just find a little joy or nostalgia.
One of these days I’ll eventually get around to the animes for all these manga I keep reading. This is yet another one that has an anime. I would love to watch these silly angels invent animals. They’re all so stupid and hilarious. The one guy only invents horses, the one lady has an obsession with gross animals, the bug team is just one angel who cloned himself in order to have faster productivity. My favorite is the lady who leads the design team. She’s very blunt with them when they make something that has huge flaws, and will not budge despite their pleading to please please please let the pegasus pass.
If you want to have a good laugh and learn random fun facts about animals, definitely give this series a try. It’s very silly and I love it so much.
Have a nice day/night everyone!

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.
