We finally get an update on Benkei! And we see how some pterosaurs live in the zoo! Another fun entry.

Dinosaur Sanctuary delivers on the chill vibe that makes this series so enjoyable, while also bringing back a fan-favorite character. The best part of this volume is the return of Benkei, the cutest little fucking dino ever. I loved every moment with him, and his unexpected comeback is a major high point.
As a rookie dinokeeper, Suma Suzume takes on a new assignment in the pterosaur department, which adds new character dynamics as she tries to get close to the peculiar pterosaur keeper, Fuzuki. This volume also provides some welcome backstory on Suzume's past, which enriches her character and makes the emotional moments even more impactful. For anyone who likes dinosaurs and good art, this series almost always delivers, and this volume is no exception.
A 4 out of 5.

Why am I an emotional wreck about a velociraptor

Do you want to see my kids fight? Not a physical brawl, but the kind of fight that's full of excitement and resentment and accusations of "stealing?"
Come over to my place on the day I bring a new volume of Dinosaur Sanctuary home.
It's eerily reminiscent for the fight for the Troodon's love that makes up part of the plot of this volume. Perhaps I can get my kids to dress up in paper dinosaur costumes next time? The best costume gets first read?
And speaking of love... the sparks are ever so gradually starting to fly in Enoshima Dinoland!
But perhaps the single greatest moment in this volume - perhaps in any volume... perhaps in the history of world literature! - is the surgery performed to save a dinosaur's leg. I will be using the phrase "Limb sparing surgery" in all of the contexts for now on, regardless of appropriateness or possible professional repercussions. From now on, every delicate procedure is a limb sparing surgery.
My family might have our issues worked out by volume 7. I think we've established a pattern and know who will get the first read next time. But my spouse just picked up the first two volumes... so all bets are off. But we all know that I will be the last to read it.
I'm counting this as my fifth book of spring break because I finished it in the morning of the day I went back to work.

Another cozy volume of dino goodness. No earth-shattering crises, just ordinary people working well together to ensure their dino charges get the best care. In the process we learn important life lessons, too. The artwork is superior, based on the latest thinking by paleontologists. Shin-Ichi Fujiwara's essays at the end of each chapter are fun and informative. If you have kids who are interested in science, especially dinosaurs, give them these books!

I love this happy little series! The slice of life vibes, Kinoshita’s art brings out such individuality to the dino characters, and the human characters are charming as well! This volume delivers again with 4 full color pages to start, which is always a treat in print. :) I hope the series continues.

4.5/5 rounded down
Maybe I'm just such a nerd but when my cute little manga teaches me something I rate it higher 😅
These volumes are coming out too slow

Such a cozy scifi. I love how Suzume organically fixes things by being a good person.

A distinct lack of Masaru. But Beneke makes up for it by being the cutest smartest bebe ever

I love this dinosaur zoo slice of life and I will hear no criticisms of it.

So happy to see some familiar and new dinos!

Well done as always. I have to give each of these 5 stars just due to the research, knowlege, and artwork in them, but the plot and characters are certainly compelling, even if this one felt like it was stuck between the end of one story and the start of another

No puedo darle otra nota que no sea un 5 a Dinosan 🦕🦖

Still enjoying the series, but this one felt a beat weaker. Might not be the best series to binch lol, was reading volume 5 and 6 back to back. Maybe it was a bit weaker on the content side, I flew through this compared to the other parts.
Still, loved the focus on some non dinosaur groups like the pterosaurs, and the especially cool more obscure Pterodaustro, who was a filter feeding. And that a bit more, over archieving story seems to be happening.

I liked it, she didn't spend too much time on the flying dinosaurs as the others and we get to see Benkei again yay.

¡Hola, hola!🩷
¡Manga!📚 Qué gusto da saber que una serie como la de Dinosan🦖, de Itaru Kinoshita está gustando tanto. Me alegra por dos motivos: sale de convencional y más comercial ya que la idea de hacer un manga de zoológicos con dinos es flipante pero arriesgada, y por el hecho de que son entregas didácticas; te entretienen pero también te enseñan muchísimos datos interesantes y reales supervisados por el arqueólogo e investigador Shin-Ichi Fujiwara. Todo un trabajazo conjunto que está dando sus frutos con un nuevo tomo: el número seis!
🚩ALERTA DE SPOILERS🚩
🦖🙋♀️🦕🦖🙋♀️🦕
Dinoland Enoshima sigue presenciado las aventuras de su nueva trabajadora principiante Suzume Suma. Con el objetivo de hacer llegar los dinosaurios a más gente (puesto que no están es su mejor momento de popularidad) nuestra recién llegada va experimentando en primera persona el trabajo que llevan a cabo cada uno de los equipos del parque. En esta ocasión le tocará trabajar con Hayashi, la resposanble de los Pterosaurios (para quienes no entiendan mucho son los dinosaurios voladores).
También hay dos acontecimientos importantes en este tomo: la operación del cáncer de Umeko (todo un desafío! Como operar de una pata a un elefante pero en este caso con un centrosaurio, imaginaros😮💨) y la vuelta del pequeño traste de Benkei, quien ya os adelanto que los va a dejar con la boca abierta.
🦖🙋♀️🦕🦖🙋♀️🦕
En conclusión, el dibujo pero sobre todo los detalles anatómicos e hipótesis muy hipotéticas del posible comportamiento (etología) que tendrían estos seres hacen que parezcan como si fuesen reales, como si esta idea pudiese existir realmente. Que los dinosaurios vuelvan a la vida. ¿No sería increíble? Aunque, viendo como están las cosas con nuestro entorno actualmente… ¿creis que sería lo mejor?🤔 Os leo en comentarios y os animo a darle una oportunidad a este título. A pesar de parecer algo técnico, es para todos los públicos, muy sencillo y fácil de entender☝🏻

Suma Suzume is supposed to go on her next training rotation at the dinosaur sanctuary, but since the vet has decided to try and save Umeko's leg with an experimental surgery, he requested she stay to care for Umeko a little longer. She then moves on to the pterosaurs, and she visits Benkei, the Troodon chick she raised at the lab where he now lives, and finds herself competing with a kid for Benkei's attention.
You've heard of cozy fantasy, well this series is cozy scifi. The issues are pretty low key (funding issues and dino care), and it's really just hanging out with different kinds of dinosaurs and learning the ropes at a dino sanctuary. It's a relaxing read. There are short essays by paleontologists and the artist between chapters that you can choose whether you want to read or not. Some are interesting and some I just skim through.
Notes on content:
Language: Just a couple minor swears if any (I don't remember any).
Sexual content: None
Violence: None
Ethnic diversity: The characters are Japanese mostly. The vet is Japanese/Australian.
LGBTQ+ content: None specified.
Other: One dino has cancer and has to have surgery. A neglected son of a rich man is lonely and doesn't have many true friends.

I struggle with what to say about this series, mostly because it's all very samey (in a good way!) but also I just don't know how much of it is accurate and don't feel compelled to update my mental banks accordingly by doing the research.
Mainly the reason I don't like this volume as much as others is it contains two "half-"stories: the conclusion of Umeko's cancer treatment, and the start of the Chofu Paleoorganism Research Institute's lab getting shut down. () It does also predominantly feature dinosaurs and dinosaur-adjacent creatures (pteranodons, etc.) injured or otherwise under special care, though I suppose you would have to expect that from a series about animal care (even fictional animal care, haha).
A good read, but not on its own. Definitely start from the beginning if you're a newcomer!

Series: Dinosaur Sanctuary #6
Rating: 3 stars - I liked it
In this volume, Suma Suzume continues working with Umeko the Centrosaurus until she gets out of surgery. Then she continues her rounds by moving to the next department, the pterosaur department which is headed by Hayashi Fuzuki.
This series continues to be very wholesome and fun to read. I am enjoying Suzume’s story as she moves between the different departments. I like how she tries to help each department she interacts with, whether it be social media or funding. Also the dinosaurs are all really cute and like how much personality they have.
TW: dinosaur with cancer (treated and heals); death of a parent mentioned;

Yay! Happy ending, or beginning, for Umeko. Now her and her mate can try and make little dino babies.
This book is fluffy with no real drama or triggers.
Suzume gets to start her training in the aviary, with Fuzuki, who is super sweet. She really seems like she loves her job and enjoys taking care of the animals she is in charge of. Suzume gets put in charge of an injured Pterodaustro, Polo. After that, she finally goes back to see Benkei at the labs.
There was a lot of character development for Suzume, along with tons of times with all the dinos. The pictures were great, as always, and it was a nice cozy read before bed.
This one doesn't deal with any adult content and would be safe for children to read.

This was just as sweet and fascinating as the other books I have read in this series. I love the dinosaur facts that are sprinkled throughout the story and learning what kind of research went into figuring out how to portray the dinosaurs as realistically as possible.
Looking forward to continuing on with series soon!

The dinosaurs were still cute as well as the main character. I love reading about how much she loves the dinos and how she is willing to do anything to save them. Her enthusiasm is infectious and the side stories (with the side characters) were as equally cute.
December 13, 2025
I'm glad Umeko was given a chance. I hope Polo heals well! And can eat without Suzume.
Benkei! I hope they can save his lab!
Kaidou saw Suzume when he was a kid?! During his life changing field trip?!

Suzume and the other keepers keep doing their best to take care of the dinosaurs. They discover how to care for a dinosaur with cancer and a torn wing. Suzume learns to broaden her knowledge of the amazing creatures in her care. Again, this amazing series continues to inspire.

cute as always
Honestly these volumes are just super cute and it’s why I keep reading! Getting to learn about dinosaurs in a cute way is definately a plus. I’m excited to see the continuation of Benki!
