Haru is marvelous, atmospheric, lyrical, sweet, and frightening. The lore is breathtaking; the diction and pacing perfectly tuned.
It reads like Sam and Frodo on a Studio Ghibli adventure as a small blue bird and a wild pig. It resonates visually and emotionally w the likes of Lightfall (Probert), Amulet (Kibuishi), and Pilu in the Woods. And yet it’s its own experience. A definite must.
