Skim by Mariko Tamaki
3.0
2.5 rounded up because I acknowledge this just wasn't for me
You could clearly tell this was an early work of the Tamakis. It's rougher, the art style is just not my jam at all, and it's aggressively teenage in the way that Skim and all the people around here are petty and annoying. (Skim going on about wicca particularly just... ugh, the know-it-all teenage fixation vibes. So hard to read through.) I appreciate it trying to tackle the social ripples of suicide and queer(!) (always bonus points for queer! mayhaps that is why i chose to round up lmao) relationships - even though student-teacher foolery always makes my skin crawl, eugh - but it's just,, ehh.
