This was the perfect graphic novel!
We're introduced to Hamal, a gardener, that can see and interact with ghosts. The ghosts are playful, especially Blue, who can't help but love Hamal. 
Blue is a lovely character that welcomes other ghosts to join this found family, and wants what he thinks is best for the people he loves. 
This story nailed emotions like loneliness, grief, and hope. The colors were stunning, and character designs phenomenal.
The dialogue, especially banter, between characters provided humor to the story, and felt real.
Character's expressions told so much here. 
I'd love to see more stories set in this world, especially with how Hamal is picking up a new role.
I'd recommend this book to anyone, but undoubtedly Queer garderner friends.
