review:

'Makeshift Miracle Book 2: The Boy Who Stole Everything' continues the story of when Iris literally fell into Colby's life. It's a gorgeously painted book that almost made me forget the story, but it's a good story too.



The story concludes in this volume with chapters 7 through 13. The book opens with Colby's friend Blake falling into the dream kingdom and meeting the mysterious Egurio. We also see Colby foundering in his new place in the dreamworld running into phantom dreamers until he finds Iris. Ultimately a painful choice must be made by Colby and Iris.



The story feels like anime crossed with Sandman, but it reads like a conventional comic. The story is ok, but the art is simply beautiful. There are times when the characters seem weirdly proportioned, and I can't figure out if that's just skewed because of the dream world or some other design choice. I liked it so much, I went and read the first few issues online.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Udon Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
