- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Mariko and Jillian Tamaki have created some of the most heartbreakingly realistic graphic novels about being a teenager, where not a lot happens but everything that does happen feels like the most important thing ever. Though I was never a BIPOC teen Wiccan goth, myself, I felt Kim's struggles so keenly. A wonderful book about the weirdness that being a teenager entails.
