Check Please! Year Two
Just finished reading "Check Please! - Year Two" by Ngozi Ukazu, published by First Second.
Now a reminder about reviews: I have absolutely NO problem reading, watching, and/or listening to LGBTQ content. I draw the line at x-rated material. If that bothers you, please feel free to stop reading this review now and do whatever you have to do, even if that means you must unfriend me, just don't feel like you have to send me a nasty email about how "pure" of a Christian you are. Hint: I'm the Jewish boy who read Science Fiction novels when it was frowned upon in elementary and high school and since I didn't give a flying fig then, I'm not going to give a flying fig now - especially when you're not following the tenants of your faith which you profess to follow to the letter.
Ukazu launched Check, Please! as a webcomic in 2013 after writing a screenplay about Eric "Bitty" Bittle, a gay college freshman and champion figure skater who joins a hockey team. She created a Kickstarter campaign in 2015 to print the first volume of the comic; the campaign resulted in the highest-funded comics project in Kickstarter's history.
"Check, Please!" is similar to Japanese boys love magna with an "American" style and twist.
"Check, Please! - Year Two" starts off with Eric, "Bitty," still struggling with his continuing issues with the "physicality" of hockey, which is a highly contact sport and with Jack's final year as he makes realizations about himself as a hockey player going into the major leagues and his true feelings about Bitty about who he has grown to love and realizes his true feelings for. It is Jack's father who urges him to tell Bitty his true feelings and act on them in a highly believable manner.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
FIVE STARS!
