A review by critterbee
Cigarette Girl by Masahiko Matsumoto

2.0

Has a sparse, abbreviated feel, even when the frames are filled with text and drawing. The story is somehow aloof, withdrawn, bitter, emotionally stilted and dispassionate all at the same time. Honestly, it reminds me of some people male humans of my acquaintance. The story is set in Tokyo, and reminded me so much of the minor, seemingly unimportant things that I somehow miss and do not miss from living in Japan. The little things that remind me of everything.

Cigarette Girl overwhelmed me with the imagery, and left me feeling cold and a little down.
