In the fictional Bay of Cygnus, magic seeds from the Onamanthe plant have the ability to grant the user any wish they want. When the ship known as The Eclipse gets robbed in the Bay of Cygnus, the Dureni people have to find them before it’s too late. There won’t be another chance for them to find more seeds as they’ve become extinct and each nation was only allotted three seeds. However, in the process of searching for these seeds and the thieves who stole them, they uncover a conspiracy against one of the strongest armies in the world. A shipmate on the Eclipse loses a small box containing the magical seeds. The ship is docked at a foreign port where they have little to no authority. Of course, they are going to try and get the box back.
I loved this story. It was easy to understand the plot but with many characters, all shady, I was not able to determine who the protagonists were going to be. Maybe the 2nd installment of the series will make this plain. The artwork is done in bright colors which always helps me love the story. I am drawn to these colors and it's what helps me decide whether I want to purchase a comic.
All in all, Budding Crisis was a fun read. 5 out of 5 stars.
