Why read it?
1 author picked Children of the Sea, Vol. 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is less of a book about mental illnesses and human atrocities, but it still makes me want to chew my own heart and spit it out like bubblegum. Igarashi’s work leans heavily on the concept of living in a universe while in turn, having universe live inside of all of us.
I am in constant awe of all the drawings on every page, and every concept (i.e., the waves on a shore carrying messages and memories from the open ocean) makes me look at the world in a different light.
From Deb's list on chew up your heart and spit it out.
