Damn positive reviews leading me completely astray (insert old man grumbling).
What a flop.
Emma's relationship has come to a screeching halt. Her heart is broken. She wishes her heart away which prompts a strange man(?) to appear to make sure she really wants to do that and she's all like, "Yeah, take my heart and stuff 'cause why should I even care anymore?" Oops. Kind of ends up regretting that and asks the strange man(?) to have it back. Well, that's not how it works, Princess. You need to do a little dirty work and get the pieces of it back yourself. So she treks around the country finding the pieces of her heart, which she just knows where to find because the heart wants to be whole, so she just needs to concentrate. Obviously.
The story is so-so. There are a couple funny-ish moments. Not funny like an audible laugh but maybe a little blip in your brain acknowledging it was pretty funny. There were some sweet moments. I liked Emma well enough and didn't want her to be miserable, so I suppose I somewhat cared about her outcome.
The art. UGH. While I liked Emma's cute ginormous eyes and the fact that her body shape wasn't twig with massive boobies, I felt the rest was a mess. There were so many panels (mostly ones that would involve any kind of movement or action) where I could not even tell what was going on. There were panels that my brain couldn't process as anything other than "uh...shapes? I think?" This definitely distracted me from the story.
2 Stars because I didn't hate this and there was a cat (automatic star)
