Ako leads an aimless life. She works a dead-end job at a video rental store, she's dating a man who seemingly doesn't care about her beyond getting him the title of "boyfriend" and just feels aimless. Then she sees a female skateboarder practicing tricks and immediately becomes enamored. This story is pretty slow-paced, with it mostly being about Ako slowly learning about skateboarding. The story completely stops its story momentum by suddenly showing us these two other women who learn about skateboarding. I get that they're introducing these other two women, likely to make both of them and Ako become friends later on. But the sudden stop of Ako's point of view and pivot to these other two characters really throws off the story flow. It feels like Ako's story was temporarily cut off, to suddenly start two other plotlines. The art is pretty good. It's not my favorite style, but it's easy to read, and nicely done.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
