The art is so grotesque and detailed, and I’m intrigued enough by the mystery  to continue reading. Love that the main cast is all teen girls, however it’s a little strange that the author is a man. The homophobia and antisemitism were unnecessary.

3.0

More homophobia than anything gay in this story. Don’t understand why it’s listed as lgbt+. I don’t think a side character mentioning their partner or their gay parents qualifies.

it’s a bit confusing this early on, i’m sure it will all make sense later, but i’m reading this after watching the show and the characters translate really well! the art style is so enjoyable and everything about this series is so intriguing!
