... in a realistic style with a limited color palette.
This felt to me like a modern, Asian version of Queer As Folk - the Russell T. Davies TV series is even referenced by the characters.
This book should turned into a TV series.

Flamer by @mikecurato.bsky.social is one of the books now banned in Alberta's school libraries, and it will be removed from shelves by Oct.

It's unfathomable how this qualifies as "explicit sexual content" - it's age-appropriate and nothing short of heartfelt. #WeNeedDiverseBooks #ableg #edusky
