Kairos

È difficile descrivere in poche righe quanto sia bello e travolgente #Kairos di Ulysse Malassagne. #EdizioniBD porta in Italia un graphic novel tanto avventuroso, quanto intimo e commovente. Una storia che, appena conclusa, ricominceresti a leggere dall'inizio (e io l'ho fatto... due volte, insaziab Leggi tutto

Beautiful art. Everything else is horrible. Spoilers, but it doesn’t matter because you shouldn’t read this book anyway. Ok, so.... *deep breath* Seriously, the female lead has to marry her FATHER?? WTF?? And she has to “consummate” the marriage?? Why is this super creepy incest needed to tell the st Leggi tutto

Una storia fantastica che ci porta tra due mondi. Una storia d'amore con un finale a sorpresa. Una storia di vita che ci fa capire che non sempre tutto va come dovrebbe andare. Molto, molto carino con un retrogusto leggermente amaro. Mi è piaciuto molto.

What starts out as a common couples retreat to a family cabin, becomes a life changing battle in a far off land. For when Anaelle is swept away by a band of dragons, the bespectacled Nills follows. His love for Anaelle pushes him forward, warping him both physically and mentally, even as she confron Leggi tutto

What a weird comic series. It's got this super cute, cartoonish sense of humor. At the same time, the theming and story is as adult as it gets. It's violent, there's decapitations, and incest. I kinda like the ending, but it does feel very abrupt. (view spoiler) [Nills becoming a literal monster in terms of physicali (hide spoiler)] Leggi tutto

3 stars for art. But minus 2 for the story. I am really grossed out by some of the things in this. Simply gross! Also the synopsis says something about “turning damsel in distress trope on this head”. Lol. No. It was not done. Others have done better job at it.

The art works for the story. It’s not a crisp style, but then a crisp style isn’t always needed to tell the story. The scenes transition well and it’s easy to tell what is going on. The action sequences work and the reader can understand what the characters are doing and feeling. So that aspect was Leggi tutto

The book started out promising and stayed decently engaging through the middle, but took a complete nosedive at the end. The basic story is a very common plot, at least in video games: girlfriend (Anaelle) is kidnapped to another world, boyfriend (Nills) pursues and discovers he has gained fantastic Leggi tutto

Nice art. The story was a pretty basic fantasy girl power story. I enjoyed the ending. I don’t really have anything against this book, it just wasn’t anything special.

Upon picking up Kairos, I thought it was going to be similar to Kingdom Hearts because of the cover. However, this was nothing like Kingdom Hearts and the cover and artwork had me fooled. This was definitely an adult graphic novel and starts off with a guy named Nills and his fiancé Annaelle going t Leggi tutto
