review 1: I can't decide if I think this is deceptively simple or lazily oversimplified. I think the former. There's some nice use of simple color changes to indicate different times and places, and some good narrative structure used to tell different times in the story's progress. But the character designs are so basic that it almost feels like a slack job. Almost. It's a sweet tale, with minimal explanation. I guess it's a pretty all right piece of work, I think.
review 2: Soft-spoken, elegant, flowing; this short (SHORT) graphic novel is a beautiful poem to a lost soul who seems to find his place in the world. Former football player Scott leaves his ordinary life in America to become a Sumo wrestler in Japan, partly to escape the hurt he felt at the loss of his girlfr... moreiend and partly because he needed a change, he needed something else to make him whole. Does he find it? DOES ANYONE?! less
