Reviews and Comments

This is the sort of myth adaptation that really works for me. I don't read a lot of graphic novels, but it worked really well for the heightened, simplified structure of myth. Loved it.

Loved it.

Had a whole review written for this, but now I have to re-post the reading stats because apparently Bookwyrm has it as the same record as the other volumes? So starting volume 2 somehow acted like re-starting volume 1.

Sigh. Suffice it to say, I loved this. I'm going to keep reading the sequels, but I don't know if I'll be able to note them here.

Really enjoyed this. I adore slice-of-life works, especially with little vignettes like this one. I like that they haven't explained the worldbuilding in depth, but I also really appreciate the dialect note and couple of explanations of certain words/images at the back. I don't think I've ever read something so firmly post-apocalyptic (this isn't a save-the-world story) but so warm and gentle. I will definitely read the next volume.

I was jittery for the first few chapters, feeling the weight of the end-of-humanity setting in relation to the current world. But I kept going, and finished 17 chapters in one go. I don't read a lot of manga, so my rhythm is uneven. The tone is still melancholy if you dwell on it, but there is something moving about the gentleness of the slow post-apocalypse. Will certainly finish this one and possibly seek out the next volumes.

Not usually a ghost story/horror person (or someone who buys fiction without reading it first!), but every other thing I've read by this author has been wonderful.
