this was a cute comic, but not a very memorable one. I don't think it has any particularly glaring flaws, though i agree with other reviewers that the pacing is too fast and the romance (which isn't really all that compelling in the first place) doesn't get enough chance to breathe. it's also too cutesy for my personal taste, but that's more subjective. all in all, it was fine.

Very sweet, cute story with incredible annotations and research about the time period. Romance felt irrelevant to the plot but was an appreciated addition ☺️

I adored the art style of this graphic novel, and loved the sapphic romance and trans rep. However, I wish it was longer so the plot and characters could be fleshed out more.
