Check, Please! Year Three
Just finished reading "Check Please! - Year Three" 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 Three" picks up several months later following the aftermath of the kiss between Jack and Eric, a.k.a. Bitty. Jack is settling into his rookie season as a professional hockey player and Bitty is into his Junior year at Samwell University. Both Jack and Bitty are still closeted and are being extremely careful among their family, friends, teammates, and to the world at large because neither one knows how to come fully out and be true to themselves, but they do come out to selected people they feel they can trust.
So when Jack leads his team to victory in the Stanley Cup Eric and Bitty decided to throw all caution to the wind and kiss in public on national television, leaving Bitty's mother who sees the kiss on television, heartbroken over the realization that her son was keeping a secret from her.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
FIVE STARS!
