*interesting visual of how lives intersect, especially the lives of people who live in the same area and have fairly frequent parallels without even realizing it
* you don't often see media portraying "silent crushes", where you see someone one time and develop an instant crush and have an entire daydream about them that you never intend to act on, because you only interacted with them in passing. I thought it was cool that this whole book was kind of about that

picked this up at the library and had zero expectations - and WOW it read so, so well. the two main characters convey SM emotion without saying a word. Every moment they experience feels so perfectly mundane, yet full of life. It’s like my favorite kind of episodic, ghibli-esque, tiny moment, quiet, type of story. The art style is also stunninggg - the soft blend of pencil and little pops of red were so soothing to the eye. Not to mention the symbolic meaning of the color among the black and white — I saw it as moments of reprieve amidst loneliness. The character designs were charming and lovely. Wow … gonna be a tough act to follow from my other library books!

Elle est tellement belle et pleine de beaux sentiments cette BD, les illustrations sont très simples mais ajoutent beaucoup à l'atmosphère. L'amour, l'éternel recherché, sa beauté, sa chaleur, sa gaieté. Où le trouver? Par où commencer ? Regardez dans un miroir, il vous le dira 😉

Every moment is a fresh beginning.
Crushing perfectly captures the enticing excitement of making eye contact in a crowd, feeling so brutally alone around a group of friends, and the embarrassment of being an individual. There is always hope.

I love a good wordless book and this one did a good job portraying the daily lives of its two protagonists as they went about their days.
