Aug 11, 2023Love and anger are truly human emotions and everyone will no doubt have gone through them at some point in their life, we've all been in love one way or another and we've all been broken up with, but to be able to analyze it and then distill it down into a piece of art such as this is a completely new level of letting go, and it gives me true hope that surviving this heartbreak is possible.

A funny concept tackling a very depressing topic. The art is wonderful, just perfect for the feel. Both characters are flawed and their issues were actually quite easy to resolve, but instead they choose to 'end' it. They both could clearly reconcile but choose not to. There is a lot of conversations you could have about this book, a lot of themes to go over, and a weird mix of sadness and something else... maybe contemplation? Very few comics now-a-days would lead to a lot of conversation. This one can do that.

It's pretty profound in a way. Different yet the plot is relatable and a sure at the same time.
