I received a copy from Kodansha Comics through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Chima Kondo’s life changed when Flow changed her from a 35-year-old woman to a physically pre-teen version of herself. Work was her life, and since no one took her seriously anymore, she’s been lost ever since she was forced to leave her job. Now that Chima is interviewing for a job in Flow Disposal, she’s hoping to figure out how to reverse its effects on herself, but now she’s learning there’s an entirely new and interesting world out there. Who knew Flow could be so interesting and complex?
I wasn’t entirely sure what I was getting into when I picked this up, but the author had me hooked within a few pages. Flow is such an interesting concept, especially because it’s often related to people’s feelings. I had a lot of fun learning about this world and the sci-fi/fantasy aspects of it. It’s really carried by Chima, her boss, and his cat. There’s characters that come in and out, but there’s one character who is her boss’s rival of sorts that’s really interesting. I hope we get to see more of him as the series progresses.
All in all, this is a great book. There’s excellent characters and storylines on top of amazing artwork. I’m interested in learning about Flow and what it means to this world and its characters, but also seeing how the characters continue to develop. Plus, it’s hilarious to see what the cat gets up to! I loved when we got to see the cat paradise of sorts seemingly created by the cats through Flow. It’s a great balance between sci-fi and fantasy with a touch of the supernatural.
