Mar 29, 2020This story is very cutsy, despite the gun violence and cat spectre, and it feels like a steam punk JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Game). Theo is on a fetch quest for medicine (a fetch quest is when the main character must travel far and wide to obtain an unobtainable object to further the story). He also tells his friend Hotch that he needs to get stronger to protect Mia, so that leans into the leveling up theory from RPGs. The setting itself is sort of rushed - we don’t see much of Yellow Town before we get into the action. I would have liked to see more of it as Theo went about his life before he found Mia. The art is beautiful and very detailed. I felt very immersed in this fantasy land, even though we mostly see the inside of Theo's house. Read Full Review
