More quotes:
- “A solid coming-of-age piece with a great heroine…”
~Megan Lavey-Heaton, writer of Namesake - “Uy’s cartooning is first-rate, with expressive characters and distinctive settings and backgrounds.”
~ComicsWorthReading.com - “Uy and Go have taken one of the normally sketchy sub-genres of manga and twisted it around into something that drops all of the slightly unsettling pieces and keeps all of the good ones.”
