Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Hanazuki
Stacy Davidowitz · 2019
58/100
👎 Skip It
The emotional-literacy-through-color concept is genuinely creative, and the early chapter-book format is accessible. But the series leans heavily on familiarity with a YouTube animated series, which limits its reach — and the near-absence of independent critical coverage makes it hard to recommend to anyone outside that existing fanbase.
