Un pont entre les étoiles #2

The cover of this second volume from Éditions Akata sets a quietly enchanting tone — two children are perched together in the branches of an autumn tree, a grand old house visible behind them, the warm palette of fallen leaves giving the scene a nostalgic, storybook tenderness. Kyukkyupon's delicate linework and soft watercolor-style art make every detail feel gently alive, from the girl's wide-brimmed hat and plaid dress to the boy's cheerful grin as he leans in beside her. If the first volume of Un pont entre les étoiles drew you in, this 2019 continuation promises the same unhurried, heartfelt charm.
