I was actually amazed at how, even if Laia is an illustrator, the story and characters were so fleshed out and rounded. I understand making a comic instead of an illustrated novel takes a loooot longer and it's much harder, but maybe someday we will see a full-colour version of this book and I'll be the happiest alive.
The characters' descriptions, the pace of the story and the descriptive way everything is told make it feel like this book was meant to be a comic from the very beginning (which I would have loved because Laia's artwork is amazing and so, so aesthetically pleasing!). To be honest, the book reads like a comic from the get-go. Although the plot and storyline seem quite simple for most of the book things take an interesting turn mid-way and I couldn't put it down until I had read the whole thing. The book follows Diana and her group of mermaids trying to live a normal life at University.
So yeah, I kind of spoiled myself a bit of the story, but it was really worth it. So obviously I rushed toward the bookshop on release day to get Strawberry Moon and (although she was horrified when I told her this) went through ALL the illustrations in the book the moment I held it on my hands. Lucifer follows her and a quiet, tender moment ensues under the light of the rose-hued moon.I am completely biased because I've followed Laia for a long time and I am a bit obsessed with her art style. And that is?” “I-it’s the moon that grants love come true.” - Feeling stuffy amidst the rowdiness of Lucifer's birthday celebration, Eira goes up to the Planetarium to gaze at the Strawberry Moon.
“W-well it’s not necessarily a story, more like a meaning behind it.” “I see. I cleared my throat and tried in vain to calm my breathing.
