A review by alexiarose
The Young Woman and the Sea by Catherine Meurisse

4.0

The art style is visually pleasing, but the look of the protagonist seems to contrast that of the landscapes and backgrounds. I think this was intentional to show that she does belong to this place, but it’s a bit jarring at first. The script used for the thought bubbles and text boxes is a little hard to ready, but again, you get used to it… There’s little introduction to the story so you kind of jump right in and have to figure out what is going on. The artist is in Japan to paint. She learns a lot of stories and about the landscapes while she’s there. There isn’t a lot of plot, but it’s a cute novel. I read this as an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
