An expressively painted journey by ship brings us to a rich comics narrative, which is given rhythm by the painted sections between the chapters. The atmosphere, picture angles and panel narration are varied. The parallel timelines run smoothly on top of each other, resonating with each other to construct a world larger than its parts. The plastic-laminated cover doesn’t communicate the nuanced content, but the glitter varnish is a good effort. The high-quality printing beautifully reproduces the delicate line of the drawings and the strongly painted images.

This young woman’s coming-of-age story is a wonderful and controlled work, down to the last stroke. The minimalist cover fascinates and arouses curiosity, and the elegant gold foil of the handwritten book title is stylishly repeated in the stars on the front and back covers. Outer space reappears between episodes, moving the story forward. The understated, sparse handwritten typography at the bottom of the page works well with the slow, contemplative story, and the tempera illustrations contribute a slow but profound atmosphere.
