Planes! Trains! Guns! Geography! Keiichi Sigsawa is a huge nerd, and it shows beautifully in this story just as well as his others! His knack for building a world and painting a scene shine in his staple detailed, genre-savvy prose and stagey, snappy dialogue, backed up with the authentic sense of adventure only a traveler could possess.
The world is both grounded and immediately familiar, but imbued with plenty healthy splashes of fantasy and mystery to keep the imagination churning as the characters explore alongside you. Well-rounded in problem-solving, improvisation, and attitude, the main characters are inseparable and adorable - when the gang's all together,
...
watching them put their heads together to work through the adventure is highly reminiscent of tabletop RPGs and the memories that go along with them.
Just as in Kino's Journey, Mr. Sigsawa captures the feeling of seeing strange places and meeting new people with unparalleled wit and vividity - this time, less emphasis on everything impermanent and transient, and more emphasis on everything unbreakable and rippling.
