This was a cute read and I’d be interested in a second volume as many of the characters and stories still felt unfinished. The other reviews regarding disabilities should be considered. I wasn’t aware when I was reading that some of the characters’ portrayals weren’t accurate. That can be a problem if you’re trying to be inclusive but unaware of the harm.
The main two characters were interesting and fun. I wasn’t expecting a trans masc character and I had some questions regarding the healthcare they experienced with the age they were supposed to be.
Overall though I enjoyed the art and the story and it made for, what I hope is the first volume.
