Pickpick

This #LGBTQ time travel adventure #graphicnovel has an engaging cast, a queer love triangle, crossdressing and—oops!—possibly changes to the course of history. The mid-19th century Japan setting, the simply-drawn characters and the detailed backgrounds give this the look of manga art. It‘s volume 1 of a two-part story and I look forward to seeing this through to its conclusion.

Pretty sure this qualifies!

3 stars - not quite sure how I feel about it but will probably finish the series as there's only one more.

Cinfhen Yeah for completing the prompt!! Boo, that it was only a so-so☹️ 6y
