I think this comic doesn't translate the whole story of the original novel. To conclude, I really enjoy this book, and I advocate its reading to everyone, since it's something easy to read, and which makes sense in our actual life in society: I'm talking more precisely about the issue of black segregation. It shows that we only remember black people because only crosses' works are sold, published etc… One time more, it shows black people superiority compared to white people. He asks for many scientists, chemists, physicians etc, all of them were crosses. For example, when Callum and Sephy are in class, the teacher keeps asking questions and Callum keep answering well. Then, it shows the society before the abolition of slavery and during black people inferiority. First, the fact that everything is related to Callum and Sephy's love relationship is something I like pretty well. I actually enjoy the story because of two main reasons. It's quite interesting to see that the main topic is opposed to black segregation several centuries ago.

So, the love of Callum and Sephy seems impossible first, but they are motivated and determined to find a way to keep their relationship as long as possible. Noughts and Crosses are opposed, and we already know who is inferior because “nought” is written without a capital N, unlike 'Crosses' which is written with a capital C. I read it in about 4 or 5 days, because it was such a pleasure to read it. I chose this graphic novel because I already read one of the books written by Malorie Blackman, Knife Edge, and I really liked it! This graphic novel was interesting to read and very captivating. But when Sephy and Callum's childhood friendship grows into passionate love, they're determined to find a way to be together. In their hostile, violent world, noughts and Crosses simply don't mix.

Those people are the main characters of the story. Sephy is a Cross, and the daughter of one of the most powerful, ruthless men in the country. Callum is a nought, an inferior white citizen in a society controlled by the black Crosses.
