Love this series. I hope Viz releases the last volume. I need to know how it ends.

Truly a wonderful series by a unique author. Majo got me hooked to his works. The art reminds me of some early modern masters, and plus it feel like Van Gogh to me. A child like spirit while reading this.

It reminds me the French version of the second volume was released recently. One more in my to read list.
The first one was a very pleasant read. If you like slow pace mangas with a bit of fantasy this is definitely a must read

This is great series. Volume 5 and an artbook were released this summer in Japan.
I first heard about it on the site of mangascreener, so thanks again to Stephen and rest of team for making it known outside Japan.
