A review by toadlett
The Garden by Fumio Obata, Sean Michael Wilson

relaxing medium-paced

2.0

Fumio Obata's artwork is very lovely, and I was super there for a story about gardens and the learning and healing involved in building one, but the writing really lets it down I'm afraid. it's just kinda bland - it reads in places like an educational comic about mindfulness, but without enough detail to really teach a reader anything. it feels like there are no challenges for the protagonist, she just sort of glides through the narrative without bumping up against anything enough that we get to learn who she is.
