I just finished the show (which I really liked) and thus decided to continue the comics. I liked this one, there were a lot of cute scenes but my main critique is that the pacing is really really fast. It feels like I have less time to bond with the characters. I do want to mention that I'm incredibly happy this story will be there to support people through their queer awakenings, whether that be the show or the comic. Maybe this would've hit harder for me if I read it when I was first figuring things out.
