absolutely gorgeous book that lacks in the storytelling department...

God, Mizuno-sensei's art is glorious and weird, just like this nuts story. But that's not surprising. I was introduced to her art through the sadly dead hardcopy magazine Shoujo Beat, which I miss terribly. She did the zodiac illustrations for the magazine. Be prepared for weird storytime and weird, beautiful, adorable, messed-up art.

3.5. Une histoire intéressante sur l’humanité et surtout de très beaux dessins au style unique

This has beautiful artwork that is a blend of erotic, cute, and almost fractal. Seriously, the artwork is gorgeous!

The story that accompanies it recalls fairy tales, with a series of mostly unrelated adventures undertaken by a beautiful young woman. There are definite threads of feminism in this work and as much as I appreciated that, I wasn’t much impressed with the story itself.

Also, FYI - this is most definitely geared towards older teens and adults, NOT children.

This was beautiful but also one of the most "WTF?" worthy books I've ever read.
