El arte es muy genial y la historia algo confusa al principio. Las cosas se acomodan luego de un par de capítulos y la historia se torna brillante, pero sin dejar de lado el espectro de misterio y confusión hasta el final.
Tal vez no me causó tantas impresiones por la hora en que lo leí (6 a.m.), teniendo en cuenta que estoy despierto desde las dos de la mañana.

The art is gorgeous. Emanon is cool...however I read so many versions of the "unremarkable man meets mysterious/supernatural girl and that changes his life in some way" stories that I...find it hard to say it's anything more than "alright, I guess".

This was weird but interesting. It felt very literary fiction, which is not my favorite, but it was still fun to read. Emanon's refusal to engage with her true existence creates disonance and uncertainty throughout right up to that last scene.
