I know this book is not perfect, but it is one of the best examples of storytelling in comics. The main characters are a bit unrealistic, but still stay oddly relatable; you can't help but care for them and feel their pain by the end of it all. The story itself is a bit textbook (probably the biggest knock against the book) but it is incredibly immersive. Everything about it draws the reader in and makes them care. This quality is the book's selling point. Sure the art is gorgeous with both clean lines and a slight cartoony feel, and an impressive amount of detail in each frame. But the reason this is a great book is because it grabs and doesn't let go until the end. However cliche and trite, this book tells us that life itself is beautiful.
