Cinebook has published "Yakari" in the most chronological order of any of the other titles that skew throughout but this is the big exception- they waited until 11 to publish 4. I think I sympathize for once!

The magical elements were a bit excessive to my tastes and so many actions of the two confused me on their trip to find Rainbow (the girl). Then, what was the deal with traveling through the pipe of the tribe's stoner? Why did they travel through a "dream world" on the way to an actual place?

Furthermore, the titular rabbit is a major God of the natives yet needed help constantly from regular animals- only to then summon flying canoes and such that would have been useful the whole time...

Dromen spelen in de verhalen van Yakari een grote rol, maar nog niet eerder vulden ze een heel album. 'Yakari en Nanabozo' is daarmee een beetje een niksig album, omdat het pure fantasie betreft en Yakari geen echte problemen moet overwinnen.

Pierwszy raz widzę te słowo "Nanabozo", ciekawe czy to prawdziwa baśń indian czy wymysł scenarzysty?

I've read two or three other Yakari stories and liked them a lot, but this seemed kind of like a placeholder while Derib and Job were trying to think of better stories. It's really stream-of-consciousness with no plot to speak of and then ends as a dream. Not terribly satisfying. The art is lovely, as usual.

Otra impresionante entrada. Algo que noto es que el dibujante dibuja a los niños con la misma cara. Parece venir de la escuela Japonesa de dibujo, pero se lo dejare pasar. El libro no explota tanto el misticismo Sioux como lo han hecho otros, pero no esta mal tener una historia suave y una historia pesada intercalada. Lo recomiendo sin duda.

Another delightful adventure with animal friends and some trickster magic this time around. I just feel sorry for the moose!

Silly racist story in a rudimentary setting, using the low quality style of drawing so common for the French comics in the 1970s.
