Colleen Doran's encyclopedic, rapid-fire grasp of manga conventions blows my mind!" --Jeff Smith, author of Bone "This is a wonderful, funny, touching story about the ultimate outsider seeking adventure and love within the borders that surround us all. There's some seriously innovative storytelling going on here, and the artwork is sensational. If you're looking for a fun read, a romp, a rollicking good time...then seriously: buy this book." --J.
