The story ends on a cliffhanger, leaving you eager to know what will happen next. The art and character designs are beautifully unique, adding depth to the storytelling and emotion to each scene.

This was a really beautiful graphic novel. The art style was so unique and lovely. I found the storyline really interesting, and I am definitely intrigued to continue with the series and read the next book.

This is one of those graphic novels that brings nostalgia and emotion in such a beautiful way. I cried, and I was in awe, as well. I absolutely loved the illustrations, too. The color pallet was gorgeous, and the environments were spectacular.

I loved reading this comic online, and I have seen the earlier (I believe self-published) edition of this book. I am thrilled that it has finally gotten the attention it deserves from a publisher! Unlike the self-published edition, this has a couple more pages of art, an author's note, a blurb on the back and, most importantly, the maps in the back have legends in English. If you have read Vattu before, even if it was in the previous print run, this is definitely work taking a look at. If you haven't read Vattu before, what are you waiting for?
