1) Scott Pilgrim, Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life ★★★


content warnings: infidelity, fatphobic language
representation: gay main character, chinese main character


I continue to be surprised at how much I don't hate this series!

This second volume continues to follow Scott with his relationship with Ramona, his band, and his fight against the evil ex-boyfriends. There's a lot more world building in this volume, with more video game aspects being incorporated and further explanation of the evil ex-boyfriends provided.

After finishing this volume, I will say that I think it was a mistake for this to be adapted into a single movie. Edgar Wright was the perfect choice for a director but I think this story would have benefited more from the adaptation being a mini-series with each volume being an episode.

Also, no one in this series is straight.
