From the acclaimed author of
the young adult graphic novel Flamer comes a heartwarming story
following four gay Asians navigating love, identity, and friendship—a
celebration of queer chosen family.
When AJ moves to Seattle in the early aughts, he’s ready to reinvent
himself as a gay Asian man—but his dreams hit reality fast with no
friends, no job, and an apartment so far out, “not even lesbians live
there.” Then a spilled drink at a bar introduces him to K, a glamorous
drag queen; John, a shy gamer; and Steven, a reckless flirt. AJ’s “Boy
Luck Club” helps him find love, pride, and belonging—until a brutal
attack tests everything they know about friendship and family.
Meticulously observed and gorgeously illustrated, Gaysians is a fierce,
funny, and tender story of queer resilience and self-discovery.
“I’ve been hunting for books like this my whole life; this story broke
my heart and healed it.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer
A Baby-sitters Club graphic novel adapted by National Book Award longlister and Eisner-nominated cartoonist Ellen T. Crenshaw!
Stacey is so excited! Her friends from The Baby-sitters Club are coming to New York City for a long weekend. It's going to be perfect -- a party and a sleepover on Friday night, a big baby-sitting job on Saturday, and lots of sightseeing throughout.
But it turns out that the baby-sitters are way out of place in the big city. Mary Anne sounds like a walking guidebook, Dawn is afraid of everything, Kristy can't keep her mouth shut, Claudia is jealous of Laine -- Stacey's New York best friend -- and Mallory and Jessi feel intimidated by Stacey's classmates. With ten kids to baby-sit and a full schedule of activities, how will Stacey keep the weekend from becoming a complete disaster?
To gain the power he needs to save his friend from a cursed spirit, Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural! In a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural! Hunted down by Okkotsu and on the brink of death, Itadori recalls a troubling family scene from his past. But why is the former form of Noritoshi Kamo there? As the sorcerers begin to take action toward suppressing the lethal culling game, Maki pays the Zen’in clan a visit…
