emaqi Comment:
It grabs you from the very first “What’s going on here?” instinct and the story unfolds with such incredible density—it’s hard to believe just two characters can carry the entire narrative with this much intensity.
With its beautiful resolution across just two volumes, once you start reading, you’ll be swept straight into the bliss of a complete binge-read.
