Tanaka managed to present a beautiful and illustrious masterpiece which indulges your senses and conveys animal kingdom in somewhat fanciful manner.

Story is literally depicted with absence of dialogues and onomatopoeias. Instead, it is communicated via facial expressions and body language. Usually such approach would leave a certain ambiguity regarding the reader's interpolation, but Tanaka's precise and masterful art offer perfect clarity and understanding of scenes.

There isn't one overarching story, but small events in which Gon is discontinuously thrown into different floras & faunas. It mostly resolves around his attempts to assimilate, which is usually disturbed by local inhabitants. Each of these little stories is pivotal in it's own way, and filled with poignant, perilous plots, frequently followed by a stupendous comedic relief.

Gon as a character can be best described as capricious, as he tends to do unfathomable actions repeatedly. Regardless of his goofy attitude and a bit of an egocentric personality, he has a substantial amount of sympathy, the eagerness to help those in need, and reconcile what is necessary.

Masterpiece and exemplary xenofiction with an attitude. Embark on this silent journey and witness its loud roar.
