Review: I really enjoyed Amélie Fléchais's Little Red Wolf and was excited to see this book translated as well. The artwork in this book is absolutely beautiful. The characters are so different and absolutely quirky. The scenery has such detail. But, I was confused throughout this whole book. 

It may be that the story just did not make it through the translation process, but I was unsure what exactly was happening for pretty much the whole book. I liked the different perspectives added, but was confused by the robots. 

I give this graphic novel a 3/5. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous. The story reminded me of Over the Garden Wall. It's quirky and it confused me.
