I don't get it, and the art style makes me suuuper uncomfy.
Extra star for Kasumi just trying her best to make this manga worth reading.

I'm always here for a heist, so this intrigued me immediately. That being said, this was unexpected in a lot of ways. Based on the subject and the art style, I thought it might be a little bleak, but it's actually a really hopeful and tender exploration of dreams deferred and the lengths people will go to for family or even the memory of family. The characters are really well sketched both literally and figuratively, having totally understandable motivations even as they're thrust into this bizarre situation. I also found the subplot with the US presidential candidate pretty hilarious, and loved how it all tied together in the end. I'm really excited to check out more work by Naoki Urasawa.
Recommended for anyone who wants a hard luck story with a twist and a little magical realism.

There is so much going on here that I can't begin to try and recap it, and I don't really like doing that anyway- I was never good at book reports. I'll just say a down-on-his-luck man and his daughter get sucked into a whirlwind of a story, filled with mystery, intrigue, and a whole lot of intricately plotted, seemingly loose ends that somehow get tied together by the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this story- what a wild ride! I heartily recommend this book!

I have no cultural reference for one of the characters in this book. BUT that doesn't matter. Just. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and read Urasawa-sensei. He is amazing.

A quick read with a fun story. Feels like it could have used another volume or two to expand on itself a bit, as things sort of just.. Happen. It all moves pretty quick but is enjoyable nonetheless.
It's interesting to see a side of the Louvre you don't normally have the opportunity to (I believe he was given special access for the sake of accuracy in this book which is cool).
There's also Trump commentary in here, which feels very indicative of it's time.
Not a masterpiece by any stretch of the word, but worth a read if you see it around.
