...a beautifully drawn graphic novel. It felt authentic and whimsical, which fit perfectly with the story. But this story isn't always playful...The story deals with grief and loss and what happens to us after... --Heather, Nine Bookish Lives, bookstagram Hyper-detailed watercolor and ink art by Sento (Onibi: Diary of a Yokai Ghost Hunter) painstakingly reproduce traditional Japanese elements such as shoji screens, tatami mats, kimonos, and housecoats, and portrayals of the shadows evoke a dreamlike blur. Via Naoko's romantic and intimate voice, Sento explores themes of grief, heartache, and loss, coalescing into a sensitively told supernatural tale. Ages 14 and up. --Publishers Weekly

Author Information

Atelier Sento, the award-winning creative team of Cecile Brun and Olivier Pichard was born out of travels to Japan - of the people they met and the drawings and photographs they brought back. Using mostly traditional techniques such as watercolour, coloured pencils and printmaking, they like to share a Japan that's uncommon, removed from stereotypes, a Japan of villages lost in the mountains, of popular festivals and forgotten spirits. For their previous works Atelier Sento have won the Japan International Manga Award, were shortlisted for the 2019 Dwayne McDuffie Award for Kids' Comics, and received an Honorable Mention in the 2018 Freeman Book Awards for Children's and Young Adult's Literature on East and Southeast Asia.
