I forget exactly why I ended up picking up this book but here we are now. Initial thoughts on this initial volume are for the most part positive. It was a nice surprise to open a book about a group of women headed off to their first year of university and have the author depict them as children. Which sounds bad but because it's done as a given/respectfully so it's not a point of judgment, it's just an opinion on reality. It's not even necessarily something I would have done myself it is an interesting change from what I generally see, where especially female presenting people are expected to be GROWN upon physical puberty.<>
Overall I would say this was a good, none judgemental, female-centered comic. The one issue I did take with it was the main character's random publishing of a misandrist screed in the form of a zine. The relationship tension between Susan and McGraw is overall the most uneven and badly written part of the story, so it's a bit difficult to really figure out what exactly I take issue with, but it did leave me a bit angry. TLDR: Feminist misandry is 99.9% of the time a lie propagated to inspire male violence against women. It is not something I have ever seen in my day-to-day life as a feminist and it's not actually funny.
A generally nice book by a male-presenting person (as far as I can tell at the moment) about young women, I was a bit surprised to look into exactly what Boom! Box (the book publisher) was to find that apparently it is supposed to be the super edgy for the fun of it arm of Boom. It did strike me as a book similar to the other Boom titles I have read, but not particularly groundbreaking? IDK
