This book is the pinnacle release from the Minx imprint so far, although that isn't saying much. Re-gifters has a decent plot shaped by a much more skillful author than the last release, Clubbing. (Avoid reading it. One reviewer summed the book up best: 'Clubbing would make a great Disney special') The main character in this book is allowed to be girly and fierce and normal - a space within which she makes stupid moves like any other girl in her position might.
As an entertaining learning source, this book rocks. I'd never heard of Hapkido or LA's Koreatown, nor did I know how much racial biases still restricted people in very real ways. This comic is like a cultural Magic School Bus for teens & young adults...
