The main character was so depressing it was painful, and the plot never really materialized. On the plus side the book is short, so the reader is only bored/annoyed for a small amount of time. ( ) This book is actually just part 1 of a larger book. The protagonist is a student teacher teaching English in Japan. He is struggling with the idea of renewing his contract to become a teacher for the next year. Immersing himself in Japanese society has not been as idyllic as it seems. The book does whet the appetite for a greater story but just doesn't get going anywhere yet. Not sure why release an incomplete book. It does have pretty illustrations. Uh. Well, this was a disappointment. I picked up this book for the cover and was so interested to see such a sparse work. Martinson writes the panels with little speech and sometimes the narrator's words above the panel, but other than that there's little text. I really enjoyed the muted three-tone colour palette and the line art, that was beautiful. ... but I was just disappointed. Looking at the blurb, I thought it would be a firm favourite. I love melancholy, slow-moving Japanese books, particularly the ones set in obscure little towns in the countryside. But Dan Wells is fucking irritating. As an Australian expat to Canada I can tell you getting acclimatised to a new environment takes time and energy, and you won't always feel like you were rewarded for your time or your efforts, but you'll get there. I understand homesickness but I was frustrated by the lack of energy Dan had. I feel like he was supposed to be written as a depressed character, and depressed characters are logistically difficult to write because depression is often defined by a sameness, a slow spiral into nothing. This could've been so much more, so much better and I think that's what frustrated me the most. I would hope the other volumes would be more interesting, but to be honest, I'm not really curious to find out what happens to Dan Wells. 2 stars, one star for the writing, one star for the art.
This handsome hardcover doesn’t live up to the promise raised by its upscale presentation, because it ends before resolving key questions raised by its premise. It is disappointing not because it is poorly done, but because it is incomplete. Appartient à la série
