Always Human: A Graphic Novel (Always Human, #1)

Let me first say I read this initially online when it was released. I have a strong admiration for the author's work as it feels very compelling and the art style captures the mood of each scene perfectly. The story itself is a heartwarming LGBT+ story. Even though I usually feel the digital versions of webcomics are visually better, I would actually argue it is entirely worth it to get the physical copy. The pages are stunning and an excellent reference for artists. They're glossy, with a hardback, which very much feels like it will withstand the test of time. The colors are vibrant, the didn't lose any of the stunning pages or coloration. It's also an excellent read to recommend to friends.

I originally read this when it was first released on a web platform for digital comics called Webtoons, and even then I knew this was something special. So when I saw that there was an opportunity to own it in a print hardcover copy, I jumped at the chance to add it to my collection and support the author. Ari North is a wonderful person, and that really shines through to her story. It's a story that forces you to look at yourself as you really are, and come to accept all of yourself, even your imperfections. There are always going to be people who love those sides of you even when you cannot. This weaves well with the queer themes and it shapes a realistic and sweet sci-fi romance. I absolutely encourage anyone to pick this book up, as if not just for the story, the art is absolutely gorgeous and vibrant. It really looks great up on a shelf.

The premise of this story is so cute and well written. Each scene and situation makes you think, hits you in the feels and drives you to keep reading. And this is all represented with Ari's beautiful artwork. The flowy and vibrant art style just kind of wraps into the world of two women just trying to love each other the best way they know how. I'm so happy I found this and recommend it very much.

The print edition of this beautiful story is so well done and I love it so much I had to order the second book immediately after I finished reading it. I didn’t want it to end. 🙂❤️👩‍❤️‍👩

This was such a good Webtoon and I was super excited when the writer/artist said she would be making a print version of it. I definitely suggest this to people all the time. It is a GL genera and the storyline is beautiful. Only reason I am giving 4 stars is because the cover slip on the book came slightly less than perfect.

This story is everything I've ever wanted. The art is beautiful and unique. The characters are so alive and well detailed, they feel like friends. The worldbuilding is so exceptional, it's easy to jump in and feel so immersed and I really want to know even more. You can tell the amount of detail the author put into writing it. Basically the premise is a world where people have mods and one girl meets another girl who can't use them because she has an autoimmune condition. It is amazing representation for so many groups and none of it feels forced or tokenizing. If you like queer sci-fi, you will like this.

When I first read this, a long time ago, I was intrigued immediately to the gorgeous art style the author/artist has. Not only did I stay for the beautiful art but for the storyline itself. I’m telling you, this story will keep you wanting to flip to the next page, never stopping until the very end. These characters have their faults and show us that even they aren’t perfect, they’re always human (get it, hehe) Not to mention the representation of the LGBT+ community in this story is phenomenal. It’s worth reading, 10/10 would DEFINITELY read again and you should too ;)

A REALLY REALLY AWESOME BOOK! It’s well printed and the art is so nice to the eyes! I already read this book once on WEBTOON. And I just wanted to support the author by buying this book. But I didn’t think it would make me so happy to see it first hand. To read it by the book! I makes me want to buy more books like this. I’m so happy that this is the first WEBTOON book i’ve ever purchased. It was worth every single penny! And I know the story gets better!
