GIRL TAKES OVER HER GRANDFATHERS DELIVERY BUSINESS. FINDS HIS OLD JOURNALS AND TRIES TO KEEP ON HIS MISSION TO FIND A MYSTERIOUS ISLAND. (

)

VadersMorwen | Aug 12, 2021 |

This is a simple story beautifully drawn. A young delivery pilot serves all of the tiny Japanese Islands far from the big cities, but when her grandfather dies and leaves her clues about a mysterious island, she becomes obsessed with finding it, even more so after she has a close call.

The protagonist spends most of the book in a bikini, but it feels more like the comfort of island living rather than anything exploitative. She also has a Very Good Kitty who tags along on her journeys snuggled into the front of a jacket she wears while flying. (
