[Stephen Theaker · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sad story about a young accountant up to no good in Saigon during the dying days of French colonial rule. He falls in love with a woman who loves gambling much more than him. Unusual subject matter for a comic, but I thought it was well-handled. I found the art very appealing.

Things get really moving in this second book. It is still an odd story, but I felt more attached to the protagonist.
