So I will start this out by saying I’ve never been the biggest fan of time-travel stories, but that said I really wanted to like this comic. And I did enjoy it to an extent. The bright art style and trippy multi-reality sequences are a lot of fun (so long as you’re not thinking too hard about paradoxes).
But the letdown is the characters themselves. The antagonists are cartoon bad guys and love interest Ano is rarely more than an emotional prop for the protagonist’s own arc. There’s potential here but it’s not realised in a way that gave any sort of emotional payoff to me as a reader.
