Started out good, kind of lagged in the middle, but I really liked how it ended. Go, Dixie!

This is another light read from Minx that I would recommend to your average 14-year-old girl.

RE-GIFTERS: this is a graphic novel about a girl Dixie who is a martial artist black belt, has an all-consuming crush on a boy, and ki to find.
I loved this story! It’s all about figuring out what/who is important in life, being true to who you are, and kicking butt.
Even if you don’t think you’re a fan of “comics” give this a try!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The love story/crush was too cliched and the art was too busy for the small size of the graphic novel.

This was a cool little graphic novel - reasonably short and self contained, it tells the story of Jen Dik Seong (Dixie), who's studying for the hapkido championships. Her crush on fellow student Adam is messing up her training, particularly when she spends her entrance money for the championships on a very expensive gift for him. Dixie eventually gets over Adam, gets her form back and triumphs, and it's a sweet little story as we watch her do so. Dixie is super cool, and her final bout at the championship is fantastic - I liked the energetic artwork, particularly for the martial arts bits.

so i picked this book up because it was free at work and i recognized the artwork, and then remembered the writer/author team from my faith in frankie (which was a better book but this one was just as cute.) it's good for kids i guess, i dug it in that whole "yeah it passed the time on the train ride home" kind of way. i love the artwork, though. love love love it! sonny liew is a sweet little gem.

The story of a relatably cranky teenage Korean-American girl who’s trying to win a martial arts tournament—and the boy of her dreams. This is not your typical Mike Carey (perhaps best-known for [book: Lucifer] and his run on [book: Hellblazer]) graphic novel. It is, however, much better than the supernatural/horror novels he’s been cranking out lately. It features loads of humor, a cute interracial romance, and girls kicking ass—literally. I only wish Carey could have brought this much energy and life to his Felix Castor books.

Wonderful!! All around a glorious look into a young Korean girl's life, her habits, her motivations, her family... a neat story tied up with brilliant illustrations and artwork. While some may see the plot as a bit simple, I loved its simplicity and the twist at the end.
