I got the ARC of this from Netgalley having forgotten that I preordered a physical copy so this was read half physical and half digital as chronic pain meant I could not finish the physical copy, and is logged as a digital read due to the extra pages at the back.
I am obsessed with this manga’s cover and I need other manga to embrace grid squares on their covers because it’s just so pretty and good!
The plot and characters are so cute and I love everything about them as firsts are scary and they are so awake and and I love them so much and I cannot wait for volume 2!

I’m like 99.9% sure that this book started life as Erasermic fanfic because the number of parallels between this and bnha is HIGH. But it really freaking works!
An accurate portrayal of teaching and teenagers whilst the world burns around you.
Dorian and Milo’s contrasting personalities are perfect and they’re both so stupid and hopeless and in love that it’s actually painful at times and they’re both just so stupid when it comes to each other (especially Dorian) but the character development is amazing and I cannot wait to read book 2 to see what else is in store for them!
Big thank you to MN Bennet for my copy of this!

I was sold on this book by my friend referring to it as “kinda like a queernormative Grand Budapest Hotel in space” AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Every section jumped to a different third person limited focus which added to the mystery and world building effectively because you had to try to piece together the relationships between these characters and giving a multitude of different perspectives and back stories illustrated the vastness of the galaxy this story inhabits.
I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator and felt that her voice was very appropriately matched to the story as she sounded mostly informative and straight laced, but she was also effective at conveying the fun and the mystery and the excitement with tone changes throughout- Lauryn Allman’s voice is perfect for this book.

Thank you Netgalley for my ARC!
I went into this with high hopes because bl between ghost and otaku sounds right up my street, but unfortunately it did not live up to this at all. There were major gaps between events that meant there was just no context for what was happening and why
