Nobody ever said love was easy, but trying to date another girl when you're in a Catholic high school makes things even harder. Having made up her mind to confess her feelings to her best friend Lia, all Fiona needs is the right moment. The class trip to Chicago might be the perfect moment, but a boy named James keeps getting in the way. Is he a friend, or an enemy? YU+ME Volume 2 collects issue 5-7 of the hit lesbian webcomic.
Megan Rose Gedris, aka Rosalarian, is a comics writer and artist based in Chicago. She started making webcomics in 2002, with a focus on women and LGBTQ characters, as well as body/sex positivity. Her style is expressive with a penchant for bright colors and textures. She designs fabric for fun. When not making comics, she performs burlesque around the country as “the comic stripper” Florence of a’Labia.
Shortly after I noticed that this unforgettable tale hasn't got more attention on Goodreads, I realized I had no idea what to write about it without without spoling it. I still don't. But I feel duty-bound to do my part to promote this series anyway.
Yu+Me isn't what it seems. It's really an experimental surreal voyage. I have little interest in LGBT culture and even less in high school romance but I think it's my favorite English-language comic. Yeah, I like Sandman but this smells like freedom!
Check out http://rosalarian.com/yume/ for a peek at the art. And you can also read the whole story for free there. So what's stopping you?
A word of warning though: the series is very uneven and I imagine the patience of many readers will be tried by the beginning. But I believe it's worth sticking with this tale.
Recommended for Dickheads and open-minded folks in general.
