Since it isn't an option in the drop down, I'll mention here that there is some moderate misgendering that occurs though it's brief.

This beautifully imagined, queer sci-fi graphic novel follows its main character Mia in two timelines, in her early teens and as a new adult, through a complex universe of only female and nonbinary characters. The blurbs from Becky Chambers, Martha Wells, and Brian K. Vaughan hyped me up maybe too much…On a Sunbeam is gorgeously rendered, impressively told, and gently moving…but the melancholy mood paired with the lack of the warmth and humor I expected based on those blurbs left me a little cold.
