3.0

The art style is cute, and I love that the protagonist is fat and also clearly attractive to others (with no mention made of his weight), and that the cast is generally diverse. Jocasta seems like an asshole, and it's not entirely clear what her redeeming qualities are; Nessa is a delight; it'd be great to understand a bit more about Gabe's situation (just a tiny bit more; one can guess)... and Emil surprised me by being such a positive character, when he starts out seeming so wrapped up in himself. His sweetness becomes apparent when he goes after Domo to check in on him, and talks to him until he feels better.

It's all pretty light, though, and Jocasta's behaviour really put me off.
