- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I had high hopes for this one, but it really fell short for me. The illustrations are great but the story-line and immaturity were too much. Even though this graphic novel features two college students, I feel as if it's aimed at middle schoolers. The cheesy jokes, absurdity, all of it was over the top. I definitely liked that it had a diverse group characters and the protagonists were gay, but I still couldn't come to care for wither of them. A college girl falls for the cutie in front of her, who happens to have a side hustle being a grim reaper for pets. The two of them start to fall for each other and overcome some weird ass obstacles in hell. Meh, great illustrations, just not my thing.

It was just to boring and kind of stupid. It wasn't peaking my interest.

Kim Reaper is a cute and funny graphic novel about two girls that go to University and fall in love...also one is a part time grim reaper.
“We need a better plan than... ‘be like ninjas’”
The story follows the pair as they navigate the start of their relationship having to endure obstacles such as:
-an energy drinking muscle man with lots of cats
-ghouls
-possession
-the Board of Grim Reapers
The artwork is super cute and the story is enjoyable. A quick lighthearted read.

*I received a DRC of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*
this was such an adorable, quirky comic!
Characters: Becka and Kim are both so fun! I love how happy and loyal Becka is. and i like how badass Kim is.
Plot: what a fun idea! a college student who works as a grim reaper? hilarious!
Diversity: The girls are queer. Becka is black and fat. Several of the background characters you see throughout the comic are POC, and i saw at least one girl in a hijab.
Verdict: I love comics about women, by women. very few things make me happier, and this one did not disappoint!

This was so goddamn cute I can't even handle it. I was giggling to myself while reading it. I couldn't get over how cute Becka is. The little hair buns! Her little tummy!! Honestly, seeing that she had a little tummy outline all the time gave me life. Plus this funny and goofy and has a cute little romance. Definitely lives up to the premise.

Really cute and fun! I want it to be made into a film like Scott Pillgram was.
