I really wanted to enjoy this series, it had an interesting concept but the execution left much to be desired. The pacing was my largest issue with how the story unfolded though I don't think that blame is fully the creators' burden, since it must be incredibly difficult to build and finish such an ambitious adventure in only five issues. Unfortunately pacing is a factor regularly underestimated in its importance in creating satisfying emotional depth, leading the last issue to feel anticlimactic and disappointing.

This was a very sweet story and a rewarding experience to read. I don't doubt that some older LGBT people have experienced many of these same challenges, and I hope they're able to find this comic and gain a sense of comfort from it.

The dialog felt unnatural in multiple instances, but luckily its awkwardness did not lead emotional moments to be any less meaningful. If homophobia is a deeply sensitive topic for you some pieces of the story may be upsetting, but overall it exists to be hopeful, cathartic and show that love truly conquers all.
