I adored the art style of this book. I loved the limited color palette, scenery, and foliage in particular. The amount of detail in some panels is impressive but not that necessary to the story. It took a little bit to get used to the speech bubbles, and there were a lot of extra details about the background characters and settings. The story was decent and had an interesting premise. At best, I felt neutral towards the characters. I didn’t like how they treated each other, but it is a realistic friendship dynamic. I thought the ending was fitting, but it felt like there was something missing. Overall, it was an interesting read, and I enjoyed the book’s atmosphere.
