A sorrowful, strange, and pretty story, with the whimsical feel of mythology. The visual text is stronger than the written, but doesn't detract too much.

This book is a work of art. I could look at each panel on each page for a very long time. The colors are so bright and attractive. Its worth reading for the art alone. Every time I sit down and read it I do it in one sitting because its just so short and so consumable. I wouldn't say the story is great, its a little confusing and pointless, but it makes up for it with its beauty.

Oh my goodness, I loved this. Such a strange and beautiful graphic novel. The protagonist’s voice made it feel like an Ishiguro novel. Just lovely, and the art is stunning.

The illustrations were beautiful and I loved the prologue, but the writing afterwards was truly weird for a comic. It’s as if they tried to adapt a short story to comic form and just pasted the whole text there without letting the art speak for itself. I wish the art and text worked together for it to read more like a comic instead of an illustrated short story, but maybe that’s what they were going for?
