Surely one woman can stop it." That call to arms adds a star to this solid time travel yarn. The ending was a bit too reliant on talking heads, but by that time I was too close to the characters to really care. The dedication and the acknowledgements hint that the author may have an interesting autobiographical story I'd like to read if she ever set it to paper. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It's an interesting story of Japan just before the Meiji Restoration, with a woman from 2042 masquerading as a samurai and a time-travel screw-up potentially erasing our version of history. The plot is intriguing enough, and has some good gender-bending twists, but I'm afraid I found the art (also by the author) rather deficient; it was difficult to tell several of the key characters apart, and they sometimes seemed rather awkwardly posed, which rather distracted me from what was going on.
