Doesn't do the games justice

This manga is definitely aimed more towards kids, the jokes that are used in this manga are very childish and repetitive. It does have some good aspects, like they adapted it pretty faithfully from the games but just executed very childishly, Neo Agent 3 (Braids/Mitsuami) that was introduced later, has a lot of personality and made the story more interesting. The art is also not very bad, but the characters' (including the mc) don't have much going on for them other than the same jokes. They win pretty much almost every matches and the message they want to convey is 'just have fun then everything's going to be alright'. It's not focused on the world building or the past how humans went extinct but rather than everyone having fun and paint in turf wars. As a Splatoon fan, i really want Nintendo to make a seinen anime that's aimed towards an older audience, focusing on the world building, the lore, the humans extinction and the idols.

TL;DR
If you really like Splatoon, you're going to be quite disappointed of this manga because it's not focused on the lore and things that make Splatoon interesting. A lot of turf wars and the same jokes being used.

Not what I wanted

I bought the first volume wanting more world building and how society works in Splatoon as we don't really know anything. It's probably good for some, but to me it's too childish. Goggles constantly loses his pants, either by choice or accident, I know some kids find this funny, but to me it's not funny now and wouldn't have been funny when I was the target audience. The first volume only covers battle mode, and it seems like they start covering the story mode with the battles as filler between DLC and new games. Due to the unpopularity of the male inklings in the first game, seeing him staying that way throughout the series gives me mixed feelings. Could probably be used for some world building and showing growth as he gets to get his "hair" changed, but he appears to be the same throughout the series. Is it the worst ever? No, it's just okay. Could Nintendo have used this to provide answers to what some of the audience have been asking from the start in a way that won't come in the way of gameplay? Absolutely.

So if you are after some light-hearted naked people are funny gag series with parts of a game, here you go. But if you want something like Himekawa's Zelda manga which provides extra world building and character development, you won't get it. Hopefully someday, but not here.
