This art is SO Goood!
The art of the cover made me not want to pick this up because it looked kind of short and bubbly, and made the characters look like children. But that's not how the art in the main story was at all! It was one of my favorite types of art style, strong line art (but with some sections in different colors such as around skin) and bold colors with detail but still clearly illustrated. It's hard to explain if you aren't in the digital art world but it was so good.
As for the story, I loved these two women together. Is it unrealistic? Hell yeah, why do I care! It's true love baby!
There is one of the stories in the back that I absolutely abhorred, I don't remember what it was but the art was awlful and the humor was so incredibly cringe worthy that I couldn't even focus on the story. Which was focused on STI's (a very important consideration in any sexual relationship). So be warned about that. But the rest was so good.
