Off Beat Kickstarter

[oyceter]

Chromatic Press is running a Kickstarter to republish and finish Off Beat, as the third and final volume never got published. I actually saw this before and ignored it, I think because I had vague memories of checking out Off Beat and not being interested.

I am pretty sure I got it mixed up with another one of TokyoPop's OEL series though, because I got around to checking out a review, and it actually sounds pretty interesting. Gay teens in a story that doesn't sound like BL! (I like BL! I just also like LGBTQ representation outside of BL as well.) Apparently very rooted in Queens! Quirky sense of humor!

Anyone here read it? Impressions?

I liked this a lot and have been following the different plans to publish Book 3 for a few years. Jen Lee Quick has a clean, precise art style. The story mixes genres in what feels like a manga-like way (coming-of-age story turned mystery with possible sf elements), but the treatment of sexuality is more contemporary YA than BL.

The Kickstarter looks like it's going well, so yay for that.
