Beautiful and heartbreaking.
Everyone must have a story like this. I know I do. And to watch it move backwards would be perfect.

I'm at a loss for words. This was an absolutely beautiful graphic novel about two people in love that starts at the end of their love story and finishes at the beginning. The art is beautiful and the translation is extremely good. By the end, I was crying...
5/5.

The artist in me died of jealousy, since Jordi Lafebre's command over his art is EXACTLY my ideal, what I strive for, and never quite achieve. He is *chef's kiss* so good.
This is an almost-perfect graphic novel/bande dessinee/Euro comix about a couple, Zeno and Ana, who Love each other but live separate lives. I'm not super into traditional Romantic stories where it's (1) love at first sight and then (2) 40 years of pining. But no matter. I can forgive it, since the art is really just so fluid, so beautiful, so good.
I also appreciated the clever story structure - we move back in time - coupled with teeny tiny little progressive moments.
I have a whole essay in my head about how Euro bande dessinee/comix show so much better craftsmanship/draftsmanship - the art is just so much better, I feel like it's respected and expected more - at least compared to American comix. But, bah, I will write that essay another day.

There is nothing fantastical about this story, and yet I want to live in its pages. I loved the characters, I loved the setting, i loved the messaging. Love love loved it.

I liked the structure of this book. It’s arranged in reverse order of their relationship. You start at the end and end at the beginning.
