Much more than a trip to Japan: an emotional inner journey with The Volatile.
ONE OF THE 35 BEST GRAPHIC NOVELS ACCORDING TO ESQUIRE AND A MUST-READ FEMINIST GRAPHIC NOVEL ACCORDING TO ELLE After a joyful period focused on motherhood, it’s time for The Volatile to rekindle her thirst for adventure—and what better than a trip to Japan with her dear friend Loly? Although she’s traveling with a master of improvisation, The Volatile is a planning machine and has thought of everything: staying in a nice ryokan in proper yukata, beauty sessions in hot springs…
Nothing seems like it could go wrong. But as soon as the trip begins, a year’s worth of bottled-up fears break loose and form a dark cloud over her head.
Their adventures in a land full of rituals and exotic wonders will inevitably turn into an inner journey—one she can only survive thanks to the power of humor and friendship.
