A Boy Named Rose

Gaëlle Geniller's, darte I say, cozy (!!!) graphic novel follows Rose after his debut as he figures out who he is, who he wants to be, and how to deal with fame. It features a supportive family, community, and friends, and we see how with their support Rose grows and becomes an inspiration and pillar of support to others as well. Did I mentioned that the air is absolutely stunning yet? The use of color and French art deco motifs in the background plus the floral themes surrounding the La Jardin cabaret are just stunning. If you liked Prince and the Dressmaker, you'll love this.
