Book SynopsisBut the heart also brings her Max, a classmate with a secret of his own.And it may rip June’s own heart in two.Part speculative fiction and part cautionary tale, The Faint of Heart is a moving and ethereal debut that questions morality and the feelings that seem too big to contain.Trade Review“Beautiful, tender, and relevant. Full of mystery, and not surprisingly, full of heart.” — Tillie Walden, award-winning author of Spinning “June lives in a future in which a reclusive Scientist has pioneered a procedure to remove hearts, thus eliminating all ‘sadness, anxiety, and anger.’ The downside is that it numbs pleasurable feelings, too. . . . The artwork effectively sets the scene, with bursts of color popping throughout an otherwise black-and-white landscape, reflecting the monochromatic, heartless reality of June’s world. . . . A fast-paced dip into the possibility of a world without human emotions.” — Kirkus Reviews “Wilson cultivates a gripping tale in which teenage June is the last person on earth with a heart in this speculative graphic novel debut. After an enigmatic figure known only as the Scientist pioneers a heart-removal surgery that promises to free patients from negative emotions, what’s left behind is a world populated by emotionless drones. . . . This introspective read tackles issues surrounding the experience of navigating difficult emotions.” — Publishers Weekly

A great translation." - Astonishing Melanie, Near Mint Condition "Takashi crafted a very fractured character in Afro..." Comic Attack "For fans of the genre, the raw, largely unpandering violence is impressive." Ain't It Cool "I absolutely fell in love with everything about this!" Maddogg Comics "The artwork enhances the narrative with its grimdark feel. Okazaki needs only black, white, and the crimson of blood to portray the violence and action in his artwork. Reading this graphic novel is choosing to follow the path of chaos." Manhattan Book Review 4/5 stars
