art was gorgeous and expressive, so full points for that. story-wise, starts with strong premise but plot is odd and message is unclear. goes for a feminist vibe but clearly devolves into hypocrisy. moments of body-shaming and racism are startlingly frequent and almost entirely unquestioned. the story was interesting but the ending seemed sudden and drastic without much reasoning or satisfaction. the mc was somewhat relatable, but most of the characters were just nasty for no reason.
