Moderate: Abandonment

Minor: Death of parent

It is a dystopia world to start with. It then goes into a odd trippy effect through the dimensions. There is mention of War and friendship issues that might also be triggering. It is surreal and the realistic coming of age concept. Not for all readers especially young or sensitive ones

The art is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! The color palettes, the fantastical world building, the emotion conveyed through each panel - all of it was truly mind blowing.

I would recommend it for the artwork alone, but the narrative was also really creative and sweet. It was a mashup between post-apocalyptic, fantasy, friendship, and the meaning of home. It reminded me a little of Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon's Daytripper because of it's art style and subtle experimental storytelling.

A pretty cute graphic novel about friendship and finding yourself.

The art styles felt a bit too chaotic for me at times and so I couldn't keep myself as invested in the story
