So Matoba begins to be drawn in to the world of Hopi myth. Luckily, it is not that hard to find out. The story is fairly short and reads quite rapidly. Although the art style is a bit inconsistent in the first three volumes, it does improve. The lines are medium in thickness and the characters are given just enough detail to carry a real sense of existence.
Backgrounds are plentiful and are used to integrate the characters into the scene.
Furigana is sparse, but the text is not exceedingly heavy with kanji. It should be a bit of a challenge for beginning reader but not insurmountable. This story is recommended if you are looking for something short with a decent resolution, a new set of myths to read about, and some very impressive visuals that lend a strong sense of the surreal mixed with the real. A story to discover and enjoy.
