  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Okay, let's start with that I liked ๐Ÿ˜†

- The art is gorgeous 
- Love the autistic and trans girl rep
- Love the focus on humanity

What I didn't like ๐Ÿฅฒ

- there are weird time jumps?? I wish they were labeled properly or put into different chapters instead.
- Storytelling lacks a bit for me?
- Feels like the characterization is off sometimes? Like the characters' logic is weird/inconsistent (Lanie suggests sacrificing their bully, Val was against it. And then Val suggests killing their bully? Like what)
- I liked the ending enough, but there are some plot holes and unanswered questions for me ๐Ÿ˜…

Overall it was good and entertaining. But there were some plot holes and subplots I just couldn't get out of my mind ๐Ÿ˜… Like what's the point of adding them if there's no resolution or they won't get mentioned ever again.

It feels like a weak 3-stars for me. A shame because I really liked the art and the premise.
