A review by starryeved
The Village Teacher by Cixin Liu

4.0

Some say that teachers are candles. They set themselves on fire so that others may see.

3.5 stars, rounded up. Far more plaintive than its two predecessors, the human elements of The Village Teacher are heavy with hope and heartbreak.

Honestly, on its own, without the extraterrestrial subplot, this would have been just as moving (maybe more so), but it packs more of a punch than the previous two graphic novel adaptations nonetheless.
