what Was this? i normally like jillian tamaki’s stuff, and mariko’s normally is decent. this one summer is amazing. maybe they should just keep writing about kids bc there is no conclusion here. and i guess that is part of being in your first year of college but still?? the main character was so plain that like. i suppose this could easily be a relatable story in direct actions, not knowing what to do w life, but not any other greater theme. the art’s decent i am always a big pointillism fan. i will say it was a bit strange to read this. in nyc, having been to all of the places the characters visit. esp soho, im there rn!
