The art is really pretty. It's black and white other than that luminous cover art. It mainly focuses on the characters, the cutely drawn girls, but it does a good job of switching up the angles and between close-up and distanced shots. The shading uses a dotted gradient style. The gimmick of the story is that these two girls--one from Spain, one from Japan--meet while the Japanese girl is on a vacation to clear feir mind from some bad events in feir personal life. They can sorta communicate using broken English, but mainly get across the important stuff (like, that they're into each other) through body language. It's a straightforward story. I honestly found it pretty dull, and I didn't care for the poetic internal monologues. I never felt like I connected with either of the characters; and since it's so solely focused on the characters, that's probably what made it feel dull.
