It's pretty hard not to read this and think or compared it to the Heartstopper series. Ari reminds me a bit of Charlie for some reason too.

Bloom Part II by Kevin Panetta | Goodreads

At long last, the secret history of the Queen of Hell is revealed, and she sets her vengeful gaze upon the Spellman family. No one, especially those close to Sabrina, is safe, and very, very soon, the quiet streets of Greendale will run red with blood… Being queer — and, more specifically, being gender queer — means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But most of us have struggled with our identity and how we outwardly project ourselves to others at some point or another. Despite this, and his father’s wish for him to get married and be a beautiful bride, Chiaki has been pursuing HRT and wishes to also have GRS.

Temples of Transcendent Evolution: Originally formed on Callisto, it is an organization that invests large sums of money into research about the Mycora.

Ostatnio trafiam na same świetne powieści graficzne i Bloom jest jedną z nich. Najważniejsze w komiksach są dla mnie: Persepolis is the story of Satrapi’s unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming–both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up. And that's pretty much it. Besides that, I find this book quite tedious as it does not put an end to the story. It progresses and jumps from one event to another without concluding. None of the characters was as pleasant as I expected them to be, except for Hector. The plot was off and I just could not find myself enjoying it. Queer manga has a long and interesting history with distinct genres being prominent from the 1970s onwards including Yaoi, or Boy’s Love and Yuri Girl’s Love from the 1970s onwards. Here are a few very recent collections to get you started on your LGBTQ+ manga journey.
