Yes, the art is not amazing. But I promise that like life, as the series progresses, it will get better. When I first started this series, I was a freshman in college and had just acknowledged to myself that I was bisexual. I desperately wanted a gay friend (or girlfriend) to talk about this with, but being at a very conservative school where the GSA was so underground it took me three to find it, I ended up with the Internet. Finding this webcomic, which at the time was still a work in progress, was exactly what I needed. While in this volume the plot would win no awards for originality; it is an excellent book for reminding those who are coming to terms with their sexuality that their life's could be worse, they will eventually find and befriend other lgbt people, and perhaps you really should just muster up the courage and kiss her. Even if you are not gay, or perhaps especially if you are not, I would give this series a shot. Yes, there is gay love, but there is also straight love, mystery, suspense, more than a fair share of fantasy, and one minor character who makes the whole thing horror during their brief appearances. It is one of the two best webcomics I have ever read in my life.
