The amount of kilig and nostalgia I am feeling right now is absolutely crazy considering how quickly I finished this graphic novel. It is sweet, it is incredibly nice, and yes for all that matters incredibly Pinoy despite the (deliberate) lack of details in the background. I loved the part where Cris translates Torpedo (how fitting) when he's in the middle of a crowd during a heavy rainstorm and flood while Halina is just sitting untouched and comfortable in a concert near her apartment. It's nice.
