Love the art. Look into the working class of Brazil and the family struggles related to gang violence.

Crime isn't typically my genre, but I'm glad I picked this up. Complex characters in a difficult situation of their own making. Looking forward to the next volume.

I think everyone should read this book. A very real look at a controversial industry, told from a person who lived through the experience. Moments of wit punctuate the heavy themes of this book. Kate Beaton is amazing.

First time reading Satoshi Kon, now I want to go back and rewatch all of his anime. Totally solid book here, fun idea for a story.
