Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang
4.0
emotional hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful and evocative art, from line work to colour - the emotions through the facial expressions, especially the eyes, was well done. The Saint V art especially stood out, especially with its contrasts.

The story is lovely, with a couple twists, and carries familiar reflections on identity without it being too heavy handed or trope-y.
