Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Body shaming, Bullying, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia, Grief, Misogyny, Self harm, Sexism, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Eating disorder, Pedophilia, Addiction, Drug abuse, Mental illness, and Child abuse
Minor: Death of parent
Most of these graphic and moderate content warnings are either challenged by the main characters or explored in supportive ways (towards the survivors) by various characters.annalisaely's review

The illustrations are gorgeous, the themes are moving and fascinating, including sexism in sports, friends that come and go, how different people deal with stressful and toxic home lives while trying to go to school, the unifying power of working as a team, and the power women have when they stand by each other. It's a slice of life story, not heavy on plot, but there is a progression from the beginning to the end.
