It’s a short and sweet 31-chapter story with compelling art and storytelling.
The world is complex, rich, and imaginative (props to the art), but the story remains grounded, and sticks to an emotional narrative that doesn’t run longer than it has to.
Honestly, the skeleton plot structure is pretty standard — a child with trauma learning love through a caring environment and the people in it. However, the alien narrative allows for creative takes on classic tropes, as well as a fresh, more articulate perspective on the nuances of human connection.
