So fun, inclusive, and beautiful!! I’m sad I missed out on the print run but you can read the digital comics on WebToons or Tapas. Thank you Ashley for sharing about it.

Such a fun read that had me fighting not to immediately pick up the second volume. I was drawn in from the very first pages, introduced to complex characters that set the premise for the fascinating world to follow. The world building is organic and there was only one instance of heavier exposition that was still slotted in naturally as a conversation between two characters. It's the kind of narrative that leaves you wanting more, with strong hooks throughout. The intermingling of politics and issues of succession doesn't take away from the charming slice of life feeling the graphic novel has. The magic system seems fascinating, and I'm excited to read more about it.

I discovered Buuza thanks to Alice Oseman's Heartstopper update and I got hooked right away. I adore the diverse gender/lgbtqia+ rep, the artstyle and where the story's going. Everyone seems to know one another but also not? Can't wait for more to come!

Anoche empecé este cómic con la idea de leer un par de capítulos, ¡y lo leí del tirón!

Los personajes tienen sus luces y sus sombras, pero resultan entrañables y muy humanos. En este primer volumen podemos intuir los problemas que van a tener, especialmente Sam y Zach

(por cierto, me encantó cómo llegan a ser compañeros de piso)

, en próximos capítulos y también se entrevé alguna pincelada sobre este mundo basado en el nuestro pero con toques de fantasía urbana.

Creo que Shazleen Khan consigue ese objetivo de crear una obra que te reconforte como lector y que se pueda disfrutar en pequeñas dosis. A nivel estético la obra es preciosa y creo que la paleta de colores refuerza esta idea que quiere transmitir su autora.

¡Veremos qué pasa con los personajes en el futuro segundo volumen de esta serie!
