Beautiful and reflective graphic novel about the author's coming out story and relationship with gender. I could relate a lot but also got many new perspectives and I love media that makes us more empathetic. Also beautiful art style. And loved the fandom-references, they were very relatable (unfortunately)

pacifickat's review against another edition

emotional hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

I particularly admired how this story navigates conversations around consent, and considering the needs of another in a relationship the way you would want to be considered. This might mean walking away from a potential relationship because you know what the other person wants is not what you can or want to give at the time. It also means walking away when you feel uncomfortable rather than feeling obligated to engage in an interaction at your own expense. It's ok to ask for what you want and voice how you would like to be treated. Maia seems like a gentle soul, and I admired eir courage and kindness in relational and social situations in this story.
