Media reviews

"The story is so profound and touching that it defies categorization as comic or art book or poem. This is something new and all together wonderful." -Broken Frontier

"Amano's art is amazing; it seems to move on the page in a musicality of ink so that the eternal tension between creation and destruction seem to dance." -Sacramento News & Review
