I adored these comics, they have great representation. They are lighthearted and show a positive side of queer teens, which are usually shown in a sad way, where they can’t be together and there is a lot of homophobia that really interfere in their relationship. Even though it does show homophobia, transphobia, etc. it is not the main plot in the story, it is just something that affects the characters  (what I mean is that the whole purpose of their existance is not to show sad characters because of homophobia). They are affected by very real issues, like self-image and EDs, and portrays them in a way that shows that there is a way out, there is a way to get better.
