"In the center of this world is Maika, a girl who losther mother and most of her left arm and is on a quest for answers or vengeance,whichever comes first. She's defensive, quick to anger, and not entirelyconvinced of her own sanity. In other words, she's a fictional woman imbued withall the faults and flaws of a real one." -New Yorkmagazine/Vulture
"Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda take eastern and westerncomics storytelling traditions and styles, and create something wholly their ownand remarkable: a beautifully told story of magic and fear, inhumanity andexploitation, of what it means to be human and the monsters we all carry insideus. Also, some of the best cats in comics. A delight." -NeilGaiman
"Feels like a battle cry."-Vox.com
"Takeda's visuals recall realistic, gritty manga suchas Lone Wolf and Cub, with magic and monsters to rival those of Hayao Miyazaki'sfilms.” -Publishers Weekly
“World-building on a scale rare in mainstreamcomics.” -The Hollywood Reporter
“Filled to the brim with awesome.”-Kirkus Reviews
