I Hear the Sunspot by Yuki Fumino

I Hear the Sunspot (2017) is a touching, heartwarming manga about the relationship between two male college students. Kohei, who is hard of hearing and knows he may eventually become deaf, deliberately keeps everyone at arm’s length because he is tired of the insensitive ways people often react to his disability. Taichi, who is struggling to make ends meet, sees Kohei’s ad looking for a notetaker to help him in class and agrees to take the job in exchange for lunch every day.

Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven by Kami Garcia

Third book in the Teen Titans graphic novel series, Beast Boy Loves Raven finally lets our favorite, teen superhero couple meet and fall in love! While hunting for answers, Raven and Garfield find themselves in the same city, although they have no clue they are there to meet the same man who claims to have the details they're searching for. With time to kill, they hang out with each other and find they have more than just a little in common. This book engages with topics such as abduction and human trafficking, superheroes, and found family.

Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia

Sequel to Raven and introduction to our favorite green shape-shifter, Beast Boy, this graphic novel expands on what we know about Beast Boy from the tv show and DC comics. We learn about how Beast Boy discovers his powers, as well as what circumstances lead to eventually meeting Raven. The artwork is just as stunning as the first book, if not expanded in color and style. This book engages with topics such as animal activism, high school popularity, and body dysmorphia.

 

Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia

As a fan of the classic Teen Titans animated tv show I grew up with in the 2000s, I was very excited to read the first in this graphic novel series. It elaborates on the origin of Raven, a sort of dark-sorceress, half demon superhero who has lost her memory in a car crash with her mother and is rediscovering herself for the second time. The artwork is stunning and original, and the story itself left me very eager to read the next books in the series, Beast Boy, Beast Boy Loves Raven, and Robin. This book engages with topics such as grief, super powers, and self discovery.
