This was pretty good! I’ll definitely check out the next issue if my LCS gets it in. Interesting story and cute art style. Would recommend!

Un iniziale volume interessante che getta le basi affinché si possa proseguire la lettura a piena fiducia. Il protagonista ritorna in Giappone dopo anni in America senza neanche ricordare una promessa di quando era bambino: aveva promesso al nonno che sarebbe tornato a dieci anni dalla sua morte. E lì, nella tenuta di casa dove vive la nonna, che si affaccia su di un ampio boschetto, ritrova il fantasma del nonno. La scelta è ripartire o rimanere e ascoltare i fantasmi, e il protagonista fa la sua scelta. Si prospetta interessante e profondo anche per come vengono, anche solo embrionalmente, affrontati i legami familiari e gli affetti.

I always check the graphic novel section at Goodwill — because a good graphic novel is hard to find.

This was great. Pretty art, fast story, and heavy themes — but none of the "graphic" content that graphic novels can so frequently contain.

Depressing ending.

Probably more YA and adult that MG, largely because the protagonist is a 30-ish-year-old-man.

Will try to find more in the series.
