A Home Far Away

Teki Yatsuda

4.21 AVERAGE


I think the artstyle is superb and the mangaka had some interesting ideas but all in all I thought the plot was very cliche and I'm not against cliches per se, but the ending was probably the greatest most tired cliche of all - bury your gays. I'm really sick and tired of that crap. Especially when it's not even necessary.

This was the first book ever that had me shaking as I turned the page. I cannot put into words how much I loved this book, the art is incredible, I was thrilled when I received the physical edition in the mail and saw the quality of the print it was nothing I have seen with other Japanese graphic novels. But anyway, this book had me bawling and shaking (It also lived rent-free in my head for the first couple of weeks after finishing it)
