Kisses for Jet by Joris Bas Backer

3.5

Loved the art style, it was stunning to look at and very emotive at points with the sketchy lines feeling very fitting for the tone of the scene. The trans rep was great although a bit confusing at points, I loved how Jet wanted to keep their hair long so it was like Kurt Cobain (very relatable gender envy) but also shows how being trans is more than just dressing like a stereotypical boy. I loved how supportive their friends were however I found all the characters relationships a little confusing. There wasn't much explanation which I think is important to a certain extent as its the idea that its not the responsibility of the minority to educate you however this made it not the clearest. I loved the character of Rene and felt he could've had a larger role in relation to Jet as he seemed sporadically placed then disappears (i think it is explained but i didn't get it). Overall, I loved the art style and subject media with very cool characters however I think it could've been a bit clearer in places.
