This short comic book manages to strike a great balance between cosyness and darkness. We meet Hamal, a gardener who can see ghosts, and Blue, a ghost himself as they navigate the cycle of growth and decay. The story doesn’t dwell on the reasons why the ghosts in the story have passed away. In that, it is a gentle exploration of friendship, love, grief and letting go. I was strongly expecting this book to break my heart, which was placing too many expectations on it. Perhaps I would have liked it to be a little longer, to take more time on those sweet and sour feelings and give them time to sink in. It’s still a lovely, lovely comic book that I’ll keep and re-read.
