With Colby's parents out of town, there is no one to tell him he can't travel wherever he wants. But when his journey takes him to the woods on the outskirts of town, he makes an astonishing discovery girl appears unconscious and naked in the crater left by a falling meteor. Zub's quiet story and Chan's soft art are a good match. Though there is some action pecially when the meteor nearly kills Colby and when a mysterious figure breaks into Colby's house in search of the girl, Iris e overall focus in this first volume is on Colby's inner thoughts. He feels cut off from the world and overwhelmed by Iris, confused by her magical powers and her beauty. Chan's art glows with life and is gently painted in a luminous style that changes color palette as needed to fit the plot. Readers looking for a manga-esque fantasy romance, especially fans of Mark Crilley's Miki Falls series, will enjoy this one. A cliff-hanger ending will leave them eager for the next book.
