A review by rebeccazh
Just So Happens by Fumio Obata

I don't know how to rate this. The art is beautiful but the story is... less of a story and more of just musings. The Noh image/metaphor about being a performer in one's life where one's actions and behavior are strictly and carefully controlled was quite interesting, but it didn't really seem to go anywhere. The comic ends with Yumiko telling herself that some things never change and she must believe that. The denial/lie there reminded me a little of Kazuo Ishiguro. Beautiful art though!!! It was a treat for my eyes.
