This felt really male gaze-y to me :( It was entertaining and I really tried to like it but it felt shallow and unrealistic. It promoted some unsafe BDSM practices and there were a lot of problems with consent among the friend group.

Well, what a pleasant surprise. I read this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, it has a sweetness to it. But considering the general societal feelings on BDSM, I'm fine with that. It's a nice introduction: It's not scary or bad or only done by scary people. The characters in this are likable, believable women who are each other's firsts, really. Their internal monologues are realistic and funny. The fact that Ally the domme and Alan, despite a failed relationship, are besties is great. The art is delightful, and I don't usually like Western art in comics very much. So, yayz, I'm excited to read the next one.
