Tough Love: High School Confidential $6.99
Inspired by shounen-ai manga—melodramatic Japanese comics by girls about gay boys—Tough Love is a teen romance and coming-out story about a shy boy named Brian. More realistic than Japanese manga, this story centers on the relationships Brian develops with the boy he likes, Chris, and Julie, the girl who befriends him. Serious issues like gay bashing, suicide, and coming to terms with one’s own sexual identity are depicted with an honest, gentle touch. Socially relevant, fun, immediately accessible, and a bit of a soap opera, Tough Love helps gay teenagers to be more comfortable with themselves and less troubled, especially when they’re feeling alone and misunderstood.
148 pages, black-and-white.

Chapter [one] covers a little about his life growing up, his involvement in activism and getting a crush on a fellow activist. Chapter two covers Neil going on what he thinks is a date with Imu at a local coffee shop. Chapter three has him reconnecting with a childhood friend, Zelda, who knew he was gay and had a crush on her older brother.” Read Patti Martinson’s whole review on Sequential Tart
Coverless Reviews –
“I’d like to see more and I hope Northwest Press publishes more. Hodge has a light and playful style and obviously has a lot more to tell. Hodge’s art is another draw for me. It’s expressive and playful reminding me of Donna Barr’s work mixed with Sam Henderson’s expressive wild style.” Read Paul Houston’s whole review on Coverless Reviews
