The art is solid. It's a beautifully stylized black and white manga and very pleasing to the eye.
The story at the beginning felt like a science fiction novel, but it developed into a story on racism and colorism,and it's effects on the main characters,particular O'zani ( who is darker skinned and struggles with her self-esteem)and her boyfriend ( who a
Is light skinned)
I'll definitely check out the next volume when it is published. I'm interested in seeing how these characters develop.
I received this arc via Netgalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

I found the premise to be very interesting and builds upon the first volume. I don’t gravitate towards black and white panels but really love the artwork nonetheless. I found myself rooting for O’zani, an aspiring actress struggling to catch her big break. The story doesn’t shy away from shinning a light on colorism and its harmful effect. It leaves off on a cliff hanger that will have you wanting more.

When this book started it made it seem like it was about magic, but then whenever you actually got into the book, it started being about the problem of racism in our current society, and how it can affect people’s lives and careers. then suddenly it shifted back to a kind of magical aspect. There was a small part in the book that was kind of violent, but other than that, it was a really good book and I would read it again. I appreciate NetGalley and the publisher for access to a digital ARC. My honest review is my own opinion.
