This adaptation is so cheesy compared to the book. The movie might have gotten a 3 if I hadn’t read it first, but I didn’t. My best advice would be watch the movie, and then read the book, you might be able to enjoy them both that way.

I picked this up at the Artist Alley at Otakon ’06, and have to say that is was an interesting read. It is a high school graphic novel that rings true, yet still manages to make you curious about the characters and their personal drama.

If you’re interested in reading this, and haven’t run into the author at MoCCA, NYCC, ICON, APE or another convention that she attends, you can try the website at:
