I mostly really loved this, best contemporary school drama I've read in a while- every character was really fun and charismatic! I gave 4.5 cos I wish it'd been allowed to be longer/more than one volume to explore the romances and friendships more. But such is the fate of Western comics (at some point we'll be established enough to do multiple volumes). And what WAS shared was great, it hit everything I would've wanted. Perfect succinct writing and art!

this and flamer by mike curato have such different energies but somehow they are my two favorite books of 2024 so far

I really enjoyed Ukazu's Check, Please books, but I think I loved this one even more. Bunt was such a fun book. I loved the premise and all of the characters. Virginia's family being Amish really tickled me for some reason. I loved the variety of characters and how unique they all were. I love a story of underdogs coming together and this book was done perfectly. I am a Ngozi Ukazu stan now and forever, so I can't wait to see what she writes next.
