Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the ARC. My opinions are my own.
The book as a meal: I went out with my friends today and got some street food, it was crispy, salty, and delicious

The book left me: Feeling very much called out, this hit a little too close to home :--(
Why did this call out to me?
I want to get back into reading mangas, s I used to be an avid lurker on the free manga sites. So why not pick up the one manga that is very much a photocopy of my life?
Pick-up-able? Put-down-able?
Pick-up-able, binged it in one go. Already looking very much forward to reading the next volume.
Issues:
Formatting of the first few pages seems broken, but it is probably intended for a physical copy
Good things:
Shows different variants of the same type of story
Rep for girls with a different kind of hobby :--)
How did it feel to read?
It felt like a hug. I was right at home in this story. Empowering, freeing, very much what I needed in this moment
What mood would I read this in?
I would read this either before or after my psychiatrist appointment. As the theme is usually "how come you didn't have many friends in school", because I didn't fit in :--(
Where does this fall in my tier list ranking?
This is a good ole' A tier. Great and comforting read, will recommend to my other girlies

I've never read Manga before but I really enjoyed this! I've always been very interested in skateboarding so I think this was a great entry point. One thing that was kinda tricky is that I forgot for the first few pages that you read it right to left.
The artwork in this book is so beautiful! I also loved that it encouraged that you can learn to do something new at any age!
I think I'll check out Sketchy Vol. 2 this summer!
Thank you to NetGalley for the copy of this!
