Fumio Obata's drawing, in particular, is marvellous in its power and delicacy.Trade ReviewJust So Happens feels so richly intimate... [Obata] is a talent to watch.

His storytelling, too, is crazily accomplished. -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *A beautiful and observant graphic novel. -- James Smart * Guardian *This is a book you may want to study, a book of inflection and nuance, a delicate, thoughtful book that entrances the eyes and compels the old grey matter. * Bookmunch *A powerful story dealt with a deft brush in hand. * Monocle *Told with great care and dignity...

    Book SynopsisThe success of popular webcomics (comics produced and read entirely digitally) is the greatest revolution in the comics medium of the last two decades. Webcomics exploit a socio-technical convergence between digital platforms and participatory cultures, enabling global authors to work together with global audiences to transcend established print comics structures. After defining digital comics, webcomics and webtoons, this Element presents a case study of Korean platform WEBTOON, which achieved 100 billion global page views in 2019. The study analyses data from their website, including views, subscriptions and likes, to quantify and assess whether WEBTOON''s commercial and critical success is connected to its inclusion of a wider range of genres and of a more diverse author base than mainstream English-language print comics. In so doing, it performs the first Book Historical study of webcomics and webtoons. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Ten years on, the crew—now in their mid and late thirties—face a whole slew of new challenges: parenting, vying for promotions, balancing partying and work, being judged by baby gays at the club, and scariest of all, drifting apart. Fans of Bongiovanni’s Grease Bats will enjoy the familiar flavors of a messy, horny, queer and trans friend squad but paired with a more nuanced slice-of-life narrative. These characters are trying to stay true to themselves, invest in their communities, get laid, and support each other.” * Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer *“Mimosa is a delightful, messy, passionate, frustrating, and loving glimpse into the way our found families both nourish and force our growth. It overflows with familiarity for anyone who is lucky enough to live a life surrounded by queer people, and it speaks with compassion about the ebb and flow of the relationships that sand us down into ourselves.” * Rosemary Valero-O’Connell, illustrator of Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me *
