Extremely solid writing, charming characters, gorgeous art, and a mystery that reveals itself at its own pace and has no intentions to deceive you of the true nature of this world. While it isn't breaking new ground, it certainly is perfecting it (small bug with the sun not properly disappearing beyond the horizon aside, which is the sort of thing you only comment on if basically nothing else is wrong with it).

Maybe I just have a soft spot for dealing with adversity and the quiet strength needed to go through day to day life, but when it works, it works.
