This is a funny manga that speaks about misogyny, unwanted pregnancies, double standards, and so on. However, it does it from a place of empowerment and social work. Some of the topics are hard, but while they're treated as such, there's not that much doom and gloom that you would expect. It does seem a bit idealistic at times, but it is a comfort reading for sure.

¡Hay de todo en este libro! Hay intriga y corrupción política, relaciones, drama familiar, trauma transgeneracional, ¡y no me hagas hablar de los elementos de fantasía! Sólo leer la sinopsis fue suficiente para emocionarme. Es uno de esos libros que te sorprenden repetidamente.

There’s a lot going on in this book! There’s political intrigue and corruption, trauma, relationships, family drama, transgenerational trauma, and don’t get me started on the fantasy elements! Just reading the synopsis was enough to get me excited. It’s one of those books that surprise you repeatedly.

Judging just based on the introduction, and... I didn't get anything new. A good edition, for sure, for hardcore fans, but there's little to surprise.

Es bueno y tiene buen argumento, pero me suena MUY ALICE IN WONDERLAND. No me acaba de convencer del todo :S

La lectura fue entretenida, ligera, pero algo complicada, pues no domino del todo el inglés. La trama es realmente interesante, muy original, la verdad. Las emociones son reales, lógicas y con mucha fuerza en las descripciones.
Me hubiera gustado, ahora que terminé de leerlo, que fuese un poco más largo, pues realmente disfruté de la lectura. Podría estar mejor, pero creo que está bien así como está.

Una historia excelente, podría pulirse alguna que otra escena para hacerse más larga, pero está demasiado bien. ADORO a Carolina, no más chicas tontas y que se dejan a sí mismas por el chico que aman, ¡¡ME ENCANTA!!
