Cute! I really liked the fantastical aspect of how musical chairs look here. Everything looks 10x bigger and the stakes are high. It plays into the stressful uncertainty that the game prides itself on lol.

The artwork was cartoony and conveyed action and expression well without written dialogue.

Very interesting and engaging silent picture book/graphic novel for young readers.

I really enjoyed this! It's a wordless comic about a group of young children playing musical chairs. When the music comes on they find themselves transported to an (imaginary) world not unlike a pacman or even a Mario videogame; giant musical notes and other notation can become violent, and they balance creating alliances with competing against each other to see who will be the winner. Really visually creative without being confusing, establishes interesting relationships without a single word being spoken.
