------------------------------------------------------------

Review: This is an art theft mystery involving a girl and her talking egret. I was confused during most of this book. I had difficulty following everything that was happening. The story is definitely unique and, in a good way, strange. I really liked the art style. 

I give this comic a 3/5. I didn't follow the story that well, but it is definitely a unique story.
