After the rain

I really loved this album. The graphic style is not so easy to swallow, but the story is fantastic. It is nothing short of the coming of age of the major character of the early Donjon, Hyacinthe. You can make this up by the title itself, but the details of the album are really well polished.

You start off as usual with white-knight, goodie-two-shoes Hyacinthe trying to bring peace and justice to Antipolis. But by visiting his love, he happens to kill a man to protect her, and gets disillusioned about everything. It will take a whole adventure for him to settle down again. And in the process, become a man, probably not far from the one we have in the second part of the serie.

As I said, the graphic style of Blain is still quite hard for me to accept, as it is very dark and full of hand-drawn shadows, although not as much as Sfar`s style. But it is defnitely not my favorite.
