dvo reviewed Skull-Face Bookseller Honda-san, Vol. 1 by Honda
For its audience, it's really lovely
3 stars
As someone that adores bookstores and booksellers, this book speaks to me. Honda's cartooning is great. That she's able to make a skeleton so cute and expressive shows such a deft hand.
I experienced a bit of a cultural disconnect with a lot of the humour though and that's firmly a me thing. The perpetual mortification of Honda did not mirror my experiences in customer service to say the least.
It's gonna be a gift for the booksellers in my life.
