I really enjoyed Ukazu's Check, Please books, but I think I loved this one even more. Bunt was such a fun book. I loved the premise and all of the characters. Virginia's family being Amish really tickled me for some reason. I loved the variety of characters and how unique they all were. I love a story of underdogs coming together and this book was done perfectly. I am a Ngozi Ukazu stan now and forever, so I can't wait to see what she writes next.

A delightful, self-contained graphic novel with a wild cast of characters one could only find at art school. The plot is robust without being unnecessarily complicated and the sports are lovingly incorporated! I’m sure it will only improve upon reread.
