Wish this was longer but was really well done and focus on an incredibly important topic.

I felt like this would have been much more satisfying and enjoyable if it was longer. I felt like I did not get to know enough about the characters and conflict. However, I would hope this would be explored within the next few volumes.

Beautiful and very moving illustrations. I wish this story had been longer because it was over too soon! Will read vol. 2.
