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?

"Steady Beat" (which was also pretty good) also had LGBTQ elements--although in "Steady Beat" the heroine and the boy who was apparently being set up to be her love interest were straight, but there were major supporting characters who turned out to be gay.

Yup -- main character's sister had a girlfriend and the love interest had a gay father with a boyfriend. I liked it, and was disappointed to see the third volume vanish in the Tpop crash. Don't have the volumes any more, though.
