I enjoyed this a LOT. While the story itself is boiled down to a pretty basic foible, it's the art - the action dynamics in the poses, the colors, the juxtaposition of highly detailed and blurred lines - and the narrative angles (one chapter is told from the POV of a cigarette?!) that make it so arresting. Definitely worth the hype.
