Regularly mistaken for a boy and/or vampire, the traveler Kuro roams the land, clothed in black from head to toe, a Kuro-sized coffin on her back. Accompanied by her snarky bat friend, Sen, the mysterious duo meets all sorts of individuals en route - some good, some evil, some just plain crazy! But Kuro never stays in one place for long, begging the question: What exactly is she searching for? And what exactly does she intend to do with that coffin?! (Source: Yen Press)

Read the full take
Regularly mistaken for a boy or a vampire, the traveller Kuro roams the land, clothed in black from head to toe, with a Kuro-sized coffin on her back. She is accompanied by her snarky bat friend, Sen, and the mystery of her journey gradually unfolds. The premise is a quiet adventure in which a wanderer meets people and places that test her.The strength is the tone. Kuro is a distinctive lead, and her dry, mysterious nature gives the series a charming identity. The bat's sharp remarks add comedy, and the episodes have a pleasant rhythm.The weaknesses are about structure. The adventure is episodic, and some episodes feel slighter than others. Readers wanting a driving plot may find it leisurely.Recommended for fans of quiet travelogues with a mysterious lead. Expect a gentle, offbeat read that rewards a relaxed pace.
