3.0

Like the first volume of Sophie Schönhammer and Anna Backhausen's Star Collector, this just feels a bit half-baked and rushed. I like the art and think it's cute, and the enthusiasm and intensity of the crush and their first fumbling attempts to have sex ring very true for teenagers.

Buuut Fynn's headlong rush into things still feels a bit off, even for a teenager. Parts of it make sense, like being mad at Niko not explaining what's going on, but in other ways he's going waaaaay too fast. 

It's all very melodramatic and teenage, in any case; it's cute, but too rushed.
