Webcomic Review: One Day by Pan (link at bottom)
Quote: You love the book The Dreamcatcher, right?
Hum...right.
That novel is really awesome! I've come to your store for three days. Finally, I finished it.
What? You finished all of it?
One Day is a short webcomic that's sweet, fluffy and warm like pancakes which leave you happy after you devour it.
In a rainy city, Bella a bookworm college student meets a backpacker in the bookshop she works at. They bond over an out of print book that Bella hides behind shelves so that she can finish it before someone buys it. They walk around the city, have coffee in Bella's favourite café and talk about their looming future as working adult. Bella doesn't want to work in a corporate job but her family is strict, and her new friend has a little secret of his own.
There are two side stories, of a tomboy teen named Luciana who has a crush on her basketball teammate, and how her friends try to doll her up to impress the boy. And the final story is of Isla, whose boyfriend suddenly breaks off their longtime relationship.
Each story revolves around accepting one's own shortcomings and making the best out of their immediate reality. Luciana can doll up for one day, but her true nature is that of a wild child, Bella is timid and careful yet she dreams of running away in the novel she is writing. But deep down she knows escapism is only a temporary medicine. Isla had her life set, a decent job, loving partner and marriage in two years, but when life throws her curveball, she chooses her well-being over chasing lost love.
The art of the story made me so jealous, I wanted to live in this city in the middle of mountainous terrain. Work in a bookshop and drink tea in cosy cafés and get drenched in rain. Each panel has been so delicately coloured and balanced with the theme of youth, life and hope. Bella is a pessimist, but her surrounding is reeking with energy. Isla begins rebuilding a life in and around an empty gloomy room, but soon she fills it with books, plants, design work she loves and her own contentment and it's so well illustrated! And Luciana radiates like the sun under which she practices in her panels.
Oh, my aching heart is so happy to read an empowering romance comics.
