A great adaptation! Really translates the humor of the original while adding hints of the drama to come. Just a fun book that I’ll definitely be reading more than once.

review:
Maybe there’s an extra layer that I might’ve gotten if I were knowledgeable about either manga or Japanese history, but a thoroughly enjoyable tale nonetheless. It unfolds in a really satisfying way, gradually revealing the connections between the characters, the way that time travel (yes, I enjoyed a time travel story!) plays out through the plot. Lots of emotional and plot tension, and of course lovely art, with expressive faces and delicate landscapes. Will definitely be getting book 2!
L’ombre de Lucretia
Not quite enough of the two main colors to make the full length so I added a panel of 28 rows/14 ridges in another yarn I had on hand (but apparently never added to Ravelry?) will have to do that later. (local dyer, mini skein, pale blue with the same sparkle as the others)
Then finished with 6 rows (3 ridges) of the Kodiak.
Stopped about 7 rows short, seemed long enough and I liked the balance of color widths. Turned out to be perfect for the pin I wanted to wear it with!
This was a really relaxing knit to work on, makes a nice squishy fabric. Also enjoy how the two colors worked up together into something with a lot of depth and visual interest.
