Very conflicted about this work. On the one hand, I can see that there's a story worth being told. On the other, I don't know that Jigour is telling it very well. There's a very large element of the nonsensical that I don't feel is meant to be there, and there is too much jumping around in past and future and different countries and secret underground theme parks and...what?? Don't ask me, because I don't have a clue. I think if she had worked more on the real story she's trying to tell, without adding the absurd, it would have worked better. Also, I believe at heart it's meant to be a story about lesbian women in the past and the difficulties they suffered, but it really doesn't make any sense that all the women the main character encounters happen to be lesbians. I think studies have shown there's something like 5% of the population is homosexual, so the odds are very much against this. It just adds more to the whole "nonsensical" thing. I hate feeling that way, because I really want to like this. I think there's something good hidden in it. But it's buried too deep.

Also, there are pages with foreign language dialog. With no translation. Until you come to the end, and there's a page with all the translations. ...This, does not at all work for me. Either write it all in English with some sort of marking around it and a note at the bottom indicating it's in LanguageX, or else the translations themselves go at the bottom. Not at the end when I've already said Welp, too bad I don't know what's going on here! and moved on.

And the art... Again very conflicted. There are some really beautiful vibrant panels, and Jigour has a lot of skill at drawing objects, and her nude bodies are pretty nicely done as well. If this were just scenes without living people, I would be enamored with the art. But her clothed bodies, and especially the faces... they need a lot of work; the faces, especially viewed from the front, are almost painful to look at (profiles are a little less severe). She has a tendency of drawing "cheekbones" as a child would, which makes the faces just silly. It's hard to rectify the two very different levels of ability. ( )
