Enjoy!

33/100 The mystery deepens as our writer "hero" foolishly falls in love with the actress hired to replace the other actress. Plenty of secrets come out, dirty tricks, sexual assaults, perversions, scandals the studio is willing to kill to keep quiet. Charlie, the writer, is too drunk most of the time to realize the real danger he is involved in. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

32/100 A very dark and gritty story of late 1940s Hollywood. A young starlet is found dead, and the studio rushes to cover up the scandal. A screenwriter, with writer's block, becomes involved because he knows the studio's story isn't true. It's very dark, there aren't any really likeable characters, even the MMC is a coward you folds under studio pressure to keep quiet. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Just a wonderful series so far. The art is truly amazing and I love all of the characters. In this volume, Canto and his friends go on a mission to defeat the shrouded man so they can get their clock hearts fixed. Will they be able to do it in time before they are extinguished?

Seiji and Nicholas are getting so close... in their own special way. Really cute.

I'm very curious how/when the secret about Nicholas' father is going to come out to the others, and how he'll react.

I'm gonna be so mad when the story just *stops* at the end of next volume, aren't I.

Ugh, I couldn't resist it, I grabbed the next volume. I LOVED the scenes with Seiji helping Nicholas learn to hit the tennis ball, it was so unexpected and awkward and yet so perfect.

Also, Bobby continues to be adorable, and I love that nothing at all is said about his gender non-conforming.

My mind immediately went to Heartstopper and those pretty pale spines

Yesterday kicked off the #TransRightsReadathon which runs through March 31. It celebrates trans authors and/or characters, and invites folks to donate to organizations that help protect trans rights or support and uplift trans folks. Yesterday was a travel day for me, so I spent my flight times enjoying these. Mostly focused on Deadendia (which spawned the Netflix show Dead End Park) because of flight anxiety. #TRR #Comics #LGBTQIA #AceStories

Shusterman & Martínez present a series of stories set in WWII in which figures from Jewish folklore empower resistance to the nazi Holocaust. Shusterman notes in comments that there is a high degree of wish fulfillment in the stories, and I think he is successful in balancing the fantasy elements with the awful truth of history. It's a YA GN, so the horrors are not explicitly shown, while honouring the impact and consequences.
