Elle(s), Vol. 1: The New Girl

This was amazing! A beautiful, intriguing cute story, can't wait to see its continuation.

First of all, this is one of the prettiest graphic novels I have ever read. I just absolutely loved the art style.
But also, I loved the story overall. Elle is starting at a new school, making new friends, navigating the social and school life while dealing with the stressors that come with all that. Even putting the other subplots aside, that alone would have been interesting enough. But then other layers come in and it builds up into a good light mystery on top of everything else. It definitely ends abruptly with a cliffhanger, so watch out because you're going to want to read the rest!

Elle's new friends are all awesome, getting a beautiful found family feeling there.
I really liked the representation on dissociative identity disorder. To be clear, I have no personal experience with it and I don't know if the author does, so I can't comment on how well or accurately it was portrayed, but from my limited perspective, it was still respectfully and beautifully done.

This was a great first step to what seems like will be a great, interesting and beautiful story.

I will most definitely be reading the next one, and when/if the physical book comes out in English, I will be buying that one too, so I can have and share the beautiful art.

Thank you to Netgalley and Le Lombard/Europe Comics for the eARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked the way this book tackled the topic of multiple personality disorder. The art style in this graphic novel was stunning it also helped the reader differentiate between all of the different personalities that Elle has throughout this book. There is also a subplot that is a mystery surrounding Elle's family. I can not wait to read the next volume from this series. I am super excited!!!

I am obsessed with the play on words for the title, Elle (her, singular) is pronounced the same as Elles (her, plural) and I just had to read it. I couldn't put it down. The art style is amazing, and the idea to change Elle's hair color for her personality switch is great. I really liked the relationship between Elle and her friends. I wish it didn't leave off on such a cliff hanger, but this was super fun to read. Thanks to Edelweiss for the arc. All opinions are my own.
