2.5 STARS
the third installment is almost as good as the previous one. and probably the most action-packed amongst the three. there are more characters, more intrigue, and more secrets revealed.

Sagala 3 is an excellent continuation of what has fast become one of my favorite Filipino comics. This is a Filipiniana fantasy series focusing on siblings Riel and her protective older brother Constantino. Set in a fictional land called Hiraya, an independent nation with tenuous ties to a larger and stronger continental neighbor. Elegent storytelling, strong character development, solid worldbuilding with a light dose of magic, peppered with political intrigue. Mix all of these together and I'm one happy reader. I'm not an expert but the art style reminds me of anime, very easy to follow with expressive characters. It had an even pacing that flowed really well. I continue to be in awe of how much depth is packed into just 40 pages. There are certain scenes that I would have loved to see a few panels dedicated to, but hopefully more clarity will be provided as the story develops.
Happy to report that Sagala is written mostly in English, and Tori Tadiar is working on making it digitally available for purchase so readers abroad can buy it too. I'd be very, very curious about what non-Filipino readers would think of this. Bought my copies at Komiket but you can reach out to the author directly should you be interested in giving this a try. Definitely looking forward to the fourth and final installment in this series, which will probably be released with the earlier three as one volume, hopefully in color.🤞🏻 Just give me the link and I will pre-order as fast as my fingers can type.

This is very entertaining. We finally see the adorable Ba-i (which reminded me of Elyon from W.I.T.C.H. a little bit), more Carmen (OMG, I live for the romantic sublot!) and more myth and magic!

It just keeps getting better and better. I even ordered the physical copy of the comics and I can't wait to have my hands on it. 🧡
