I am all here for the queerness of it all. I am just upset that I have attended Megacon at least 5 times and I NEVER got the opportunity to peg anyone. The graphic novel really had no plot, (not complaining) just a lot of gay and a lot of smut. I wasn't a real fan of the artwork though, it was hard to tell everyone apart.

Overall, solid read we need more representation!

As always, beautiful, very clean line work from smith. I for one adore a limited pink, white and black colour palette, but because it sometime would depict pink(?) hair as black or the other way around, it was occasionally hard to tell who was who, as I have seen others say. It's important to remember who is cosplaying what, and refer to the character portraits in the back to keep track of things.
It's short, so we don't get a ton of fleshing out, but what we do see of each character I love. Lee is awesome, and that t4t scene? //chef's kiss// I would've liked for it to be more explicitly obvious that they and Samira have an open relationship? Seeing the evolution of Priya and Emi's relationship was also funny and cute. Over all great, and in terms of erotic artwork, I found it quite captivating. Would recommend :)

I've been trying to get my hands on this book for over a year and I'm so glad I finally got a chance to read it! A quick graphic novel about queerness, gender, and cosplaying -- if I had let myself explore more in high school (and early college) and be more outgoing, I think I would've definitely wanted to find a group of friends to go to anime / gaming conventions like in this book.
