While the stark black and white illustration work complements the bleakness of the story and the divisions between characters, I wondered at points whether greyer tones might better represent the quiet quests of these students against the public performative nonsense the mainstream offers.
Tamaki takes on the misunderstandings we have as people, not merely adolescents, around our discussions of suicide, of enmity, of community. And we must not expect pat or final answers to any of it; quite the opposite. We just keep moving forward as best we can.
Graphic: Grief, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic friendship, and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Self harm, Adult/minor relationship, Body shaming, Suicide, and Fatphobia
There is no graphic depiction of harm, death, or sexual situations, but these questions dominate the plot.kstav's review against another edition
