Super fun. Definitely didn't take the direction I was expecting but I enjoyed it! I loved the art and the little music references along the way. Great cast of characters and an easy but entertaining plot.

3.5 I thought this was cute. I loved the artwork. I wasn't in love with the story line but I still liked it.

This was very cute and very gay and I really loved that. I think this might have one of my favorite art styles ever, which is great, because I’ve noticed that’s always one of my biggest complaints with most graphic novels.

With that said, the whole conflict (and relationship between Maggie and Chris) was built up for three issues only to be solved sloppily in the last one… kind of disappointed.

Now I just wish more volumes were out.

29. An underrated book, a hidden gem or a lesser known book
