I loved it! Tamaki, as always, nails the teen voice. The art is fun, expressive, and suits the contemporary/capes mix really well. A perfect one-off standalone for readers interested in superheroes but intimidated/confused by comics continuity - reminds me a lot of Runaways in that way.

Super cute and fun and starfire is hot

I really liked this gn/comic. So much so that I finished it in one sitting. That’s rare for me. I love that this was a female and Mandy, the main character, has curves and is her own fucking person. Liked the teenage angst too - it was actually believable.

I enjoyed this book, it was pretty cute!!

This was cute and definitely does not deserve the misogynist and homophobic hate its been getting from grown men who think the world revolves around them.

I love books about shitty, moody teenagers being shitty, moody teenagers, which is what this graphic novel essentially is. Throw in superheroes, a sapphic romance, and said moody teenager maturing emotionally and you've got I Am Not Starfire. I really enjoyed it!!

PS Mandy's design is super cute, some of these reviews are trippin

A coming of age graphic novel about Starfire's daughter finding her place.

A good recommendation for someone who likes coming of age graphic novels with superhero themes.
