I Am Not Starfire by Yoshi Yoshitani, Mariko Tamaki

3.0

adventurous funny lighthearted fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An easy read with a strong foundation for these characters to grow. Mandy, our protagonist, is the epitome of teen moodiness and angst, struggling with the pressure of going to college, living up to her mothers legacy as a superhero, oh and of course, having a crush on the most popular girl in school. I found her to be compelling and I’d love to see more of her with Claire & Lincoln as a trio getting into trouble in a follow up volume. Also, this art style was cute? I thought Claire and Lincoln and Mandy all looked great. Mandy in particular had so much character in her drawing and outfits. Plus, I loved seeing a fat and queer MC. A fun read, not fully fleshed out just yet, but I’d like to read more.
