My face swung wildly between the :O and :D emojis the entire time I was reading this. IT'S SO SATISFYING. If you like queer time-travel hijinks then pick this duology up immediately.
https://nwhyte.livejournal.com/3495734.htmlIt's an interesting story of Japan just before the Meiji Restoration, with a woman from 2042 masquerading as a samurai and a time-travel screw-up potentially erasing our version of history. The plot is intriguing enough, and has some good gender-bending twists, but I'm afraid I found the art (also by the author) rather deficient; it was difficult to tell several of the key characters apart, and they sometimes seemed rather awkwardly posed, which rather
"One man is causing all of this. One. Surely one woman can stop it."That call to arms adds a star to this solid time travel yarn. The ending was a bit too reliant on talking heads, but by that time I was too close to the characters to really care.The dedication and the acknowledgements hint that the author may have an interesting autobiographical story I'd like to read if she ever set it to paper.
Cool concept, but the second volume wasn't as fun as the first for me.For parents - there is swearing and nudity.
A really interesting and exciting conclusion.
MY HEART IS FULL TO BURSTING.(view spoiler)[This was a GREAT ending to the story; tense, emotional, and action packed. For some reason I always get so shocked when time travelling stories actually do things that change history/the known timeline, but I love it every time haha. And hey, this book is fantastically queer and it filled my heart with joy. A couple things that I love in story-telling are actually sympathetic villains (not just "this person is legit terrible but hey a sad thing happene...
I think I found my new favorite graphic novel duology!
So, story: loved this, fascinating detail, and excellent characters. The ending was delightful, not something that I had expected at all. My minus stars issue is that I struggle with blank and white line drawings in graphic novels. And this is one million percent my own personal problem. It takes some brain workings on each new panel or page to confirm which character is which. Each character has some distinguishing marks (hats, scars, hair style) but there were definite points at which I really...
Absolutely love it (and vol 1!). There's truly interesting queer characters across the beautiful human spectrum and some of these pages look like and read like a love letter to the Japanese countryside. Also it made me audibly gasp in public at plot turns, so that's not nothing.
Great conclusion to a well thought out time travel comic.
Best ending ever! XD
an okay time. the story went some places I'm not wild about, but that's probably just because I have very specific plotlines I like re: time travel.
Rating: 4.5 stars. Review posted at Fantasy Literature.
A great conclusion to the Chronin story! I thought Wilgus did an excellent job plotting both volumes, though my issue with the art/color continued (it just feels washed out in grayness). (I did like a small Easter egg in the final pages that referenced the author's terrific webcomic, A Stray in the Woods.)
The continuing story of a time-traveling student stuck in Tokugawa period Japan. She must figure out who or what has caused the changes to the timeline and figure out how to get the timeline back on track, in order to be able to get back to her own time. It's a story of people, relationships, and progress. It's good and the art is GORGEOUS, but I was a little disappointed in how the story wrapped up. It seemed a bit rushed, and I felt like there were parts missing. Still happy to know how it end...
