Ordinarily I wouldn’t bother reviewing a comic that only has about a dozen pages, but my dearest Sreyaduck has been begging me to read this one. You should as well.

The art is beyond fantastic. Each panel is like a full painting. Waiting a week between updates is a small price to pay for such exquisite detail. It suits the time period well–1920s-1940s.

The story is already sucking me in. Two children have been born on either side of the planet–one in America (or England?), one in Japan. When they sleep, they see everything the other does. When he is awake, she follows him, and vice versa. They never dream.

…and now what? I don’t know, we haven’t gotten that far yet. But I can’t wait to find out.
