I know her art from her webcomic https:\/\/tapas.io\/series\/CassandraComics\/info<\/a> . Good thing I had French in school as it spared me to look up the "translations" on the back. I mean it was very loosely translated to match the approximate meaning at the time when it was spoken. It lacked some nuance and further definition. I don't want to bash that, just noting.
For all it's worth it is a great book. I was greatly entertained although I am not a 12 year old Romanian girl suffering menstrual cramps and having a crush on a boy. I mean despite of all I can empathize with her very well despite me being a straight man. It impressed me that for its price it's fully colored and being full of detail in every panel."}
