Çizimler güzel ama bazı bölümler biraz karışıktı. Hikaye hoş, Rietta’nın durumu etkileyici. Belirli yerlerde anlamakta zorlandım ama yine de keyif aldım. Fiyatına değer bence.

سأخبركم بشيء رائع. رواية “كما الريح على أغصان جافة” أبهرني بطريقة رائعة! بداية، السرد تجري في قرية سحرية ويخلط الماضي بالحاضر بذكاء استثنائي. ريتا كان عندها حياة مؤلمة لكنها كفت بفعل للزمن بسبب لقاء فريد مع كيليان. الشخصيات مكشوفة وجوانب حياتهم تكمل عالمًا يعج بالأحداث والعواطف القوية. رسومات المanga مذهلة وتصوير الانفعالات يجعلك تعيش الأحداث بنفسك, تخيل كيف يكون الإغتراب والمعالجة النفسية لهذه العلاقات المتشابكة.
