I requested and received this book from NetGalley. My opinions are my own.
This is so much cuter than I thought I would be. I really like the way the author played with the dichotomy of people. Everyone has two sides. The side they show everyone and aside only those closest to them see. I love the art it's beautiful. The cover art was what originally drew me to this manga. The character designs are really eye-catching. It's just such a pretty manga. The blurb/description solidified my want to read the Manga. It's just vague enough that I was thinking of infinite poss bilities of what might actually happen in other story. And it was both more wholesome and more badass than I thought it would be. There's so much pining in this story. I wish we got a dual POV though. So I could know for certain it was mutual planning. But, I have a feeling (because of the genre, title, and context clues) that Ninomae and Otogi feel the same way for each other. I'm so excited for volume two.

If you are trans and chronically ill and you love poetry that is as beautifully written as it is presented pick up this book.
Reading "Tending Clay, Unearthing Stars" was like being seen and heard for the first time. As a chronically ill trans person I love to seek out stories like my own especially when I'm not feeling the best. It helps to know I'm not alone (and this year has me seeking them out voraciously.
This poetry collection is everything I needed to hear. Even the moments of heartache and anger shared within the pages. The poems that hit me the hardest were "on life expectancy
(one more time)" and "does money buy happiness?
(on habitat requirements)".

My review is voluntary and my opinions are my own.
I enjoyed this book. The main character Crispin and his roommate Stacio have a cute friendship that grows into more. The horror elements of the story felt campy and fun. However, my favorite part of this book was the setting and world. I feel like there's so much left to uncover and I'm so excited to see if we get more in book 2. I'm so glad this is a series because I have so many questions and I want answers.
