Rating: 12/15 = 8/10
If this one wasn’t a slice of life I wouldn’t like it half as much because logistically there are so many untied threads, but just as bits and pieces I think it is so freaking sweet, like, I genuinely read this and I feel calmer about the state of the world. The writing isn’t my favorite but again, it’s mainly just vibes, and the art is just lovely and so immersive. It feels like an escape from society, a bit of peace.
In terms of my points, I eliminated categories 6) character nuance, 11) cookie cutter syndrome, 12) racial diversity, 13) bechdel test, and 19) made me think a lot; just in terms of this comic specifically, like. There’s two (2) human characters and they aren’t really even the point. I don’t think we have to get into social issues with this one, y’know?
From there, out of my remaining points system, I decided it was lacking in areas 4) fun pacing, 8) thematically appropriate language, and 17) particularly satisfying or funny, which really all boil down to my point that I don’t really like the way the dialogue is done and I also don’t really think it’s necessary for the sake of the story. But regardless. I think the things on my tally system that stood out most were the art style and the, like, feelings: both are really well done, there’s an abundance of green and soft lighting and details of the food they make… like, wowza. I wish I lived in this comic so dang bad. It’s absurdly evocative and I don’t know how. I might just yearn for the forests. Either way, definitely worth a read!
