so well-done!!!

I often find it hard to get hooked into a western graphic novel, but this one immediately hooked me from the first page. It's so well-paced, the expressions, the silent panels, the characters, the story, I love everything! All the characters are so relatable. It's so well-written and drawn. I can't wait for the second book!!
