First 4 volumes finished 3/16/22
The attention to detail, realistic queer teen experiences, and relatively accurate Gen Z slang and internet talk make this series worth 5 stars. The handling of mental health and healthy relationships is something I wish I had when I was 16. This is an excellent example of graphic novels as a medium and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the genre!
