ok this book is really cute but the grooming plotline falls flat for me because why would the teacher give his best student Lolita if he's trying to groom her? Idk this just smacks of an author who hasn't actually read Lolita and thinks of it as something that would only appeal to pedophiles. Gross mischaracterization of a great book. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this graphic novel.
