I told sunset about you
Ok so TECHNICALLY this is a tv show. I say technically because for ME it was one long movie. One six hour long movie that I watched all in one sitting whilst everyone else was sleeping. That’s why I have decided to review it. What if I told you this was friends to enemies to friends to oblivious idiots to ??? to not friends to lovers. You’d be like ‘that sounds like an exteremley dramatic tv show’ and you would be ABSOLUTLEY CORRECT. Maybe I just haven’t watched many shows like this but oh my lord if this wasn’t the most ott thing ever. but you know what? I loved EVERY second of it. The same two characters stand in front of eachother and have a big chat and a cry like four times in the FIRST EPISODE??!! and I ate it up all four times. it’s a Thai show literally about two boys falling in love but the road there has a bunch of twists and turns and sometimes full 180s. I don’t want to spoil but after their first kiss IMMEDIATELY one of them says “oh man we’re such good friends ” and BOOM more conflict. not only is it dramatic as fuck but it is actually also really well done. the setting is beautiful and the way the show is constantly making call backs and comparisons within itself is amazing. Thank you so much to the person who reccomended this. Tarn deserved better, and honestly I think I would take a bullet for the mum no matter how overacted she is. 10/10 why tf not

Fence Series by C.S. Pacat and Johanna the Mad
Nicholas Cox is a sixteen-year-old and an outsider in the fencing world but miraculously he ends up at Kings Row after losing a match to the prodigy fencer Seiji Katayama. What lies ahead of him is a challenging quest to fix his bad technique while learning to be friends with other fencers.
I really loved the drawing style of Johanna the Mad and the straightforward writing style of Pacat let the story flow. I didn’t even realize I was at the end because I kept losing myself in the story. Seiji’s horrible friendship skills and Nicholas’s obsession with trying to beat the best player in the fencing world created a sort of hilarious moments as well as irritating arguments. But that all made the story even better. The other characters in the school were too colourful and from different backgrounds, so there was a sense of mesmerising diversity.
If you’re feeling like reading an lgbtq+ graphic novel after Heartstopper, this one’s worth checking out. I’m madly waiting for the next volume.
Taking a mini break from my thesis to review a few books but this one’s first. After rereading and rewatching Heartstopper, I felt like I was in need of a new graphic novels and this was the perfect choice. Looking forward to reading a few more lgbtq+ books this spring!
