Heterogenia Linguistico Vol. 1 is a genuine, heartfelt series about a junior linguist trying to better understand the world around him. The series’ thoughtful look at the word “monster” and how those who are different feels genuine, successfully breaking down what it means to have “humanity” while making you laugh along the way. The jokes are funny and land well, the art is very nice to look at, and the relationship between Hakaba and Susuki is sweet, and honestly, one of the most charming I’ve seen in a while. I can’t recommend this title enough.

If you're a fan of 'Delicious In Dungeon' or other fantasy manga like that, you'll love this strange, linguistics-centred series.

Love the premise — it does get dense & full of cool info pertaining to the subject, so there were times it seemed to drag.

Similar format to Cells at Work. Would definitely watch the anime if it becomes one!

3.5 rounded up

3.5 stars. Cute! I just wish there was a bit more substance.

A sweet manga about a teacher and his half-werewolf guide travelling through foreign settlements of species and learning about their language and culture. Some actually interesting tidbits about linguistics and communication, including various forms of writing, pronunciation, grammar, customs. Of course this series is full of misunderstandings with MC interpreting something completely wrong and getting himself in an awkward situation and needing to use what he learns to get out of it. If you like Delicious in Dungeon, this may be for you. It's a little quieter, cozier, but scratches a similar itch. If you're bilingual especially, definitely pick this up.

8.5/10
