About this ebook
In this harrowing adult graphic novel, a traumatized female war veteran must navigate the psychological aftermath of combat while fighting for survival in an indifferent world.
After returning home from an unpopular war, Jun becomes an outsider in an indifferent world. Alone, desperate, and suffering from wounds both mental and physical, she seeks relief in the illicit drugs she manages to purchase or steal. Jun's tough exterior served her well in combat, but she'll need to nurture her vulnerability and humanity to survive at home. With the support of her fellow vets, the kindness of a stranger who refuses to turn away, and the companionship of a dog named Red, Jun learns to navigate the psychological trauma that she experienced in the war. PTSD is a gritty and realistic portrayal of the challenges faced by war veterans, exploring themes of mental health, isolation, and the long road to recovery. Singelin's raw and honest storytelling, combined with his distinctive art style, creates a powerful and unforgettable reading experience that will linger long after the final page is turned.

Beautiful artwork as always from Guillaume Singelin. I love just absorbing all the amazing illustrations of the bustling markets alone, not to mention the beautiful nature scenes and the shrine that makes me feel like I'm peering into a storied world full of its own ancient remnants of a history we'll never know. The character designs are all so unique and pleasing, I find myself falling in love with characters who only appear for a few panels. I wish I could read more books with Jun and Leona, they are two wonderful characters that I was invested in throughout the story. So many of these panels I would buy as posters or shirts in a heartbeat. The artwork in this book is really something else.
