Two petty lil nitpicky things I will mention though: A ghost has glasses? You telling me I die and I still have bad vision? And a year passes at the end and their hair is still the same. One issue I have with comics so far is I don't really feel the passage of time, but changing their hair really would've helped with that.

One you get past the language barrier, nay, once you embrace the language barrier, you get it. The language is beautiful. The story is juicy. I love hot goss no matter the era. I had a great time and I was inspired to write so you know what? Extra points. What a great book.
