In a nutshell, the Manga Guide to Linear Algebra is a terrific learning aid for those who are looking for a refresher or a starting point. It does an excellent job at motivating the basic concepts, and working trough the accompanying workbook gives a solid foundation for further studies. It doesn't promise more than helping you to get started, so it is not a substitute for classics like Janich's Linear Algebra, or Linear Algebra Done Right. But it surely helps you to get a high level view of the field, yet it is packed into an entertaining story.
