Ari North (@walkingnorth): Always Human

[asri]

Always Human was first published online on Webtoons, you can still read it there for free (and with music the creator composed for it, too). It's a love story between two young women in a futuristic setting in which nearly everyone uses body modification to change their looks. I love this comic, which is why I also bought the book. It includes the first 37 chapters (= first of two seasons) of the full story. It is a good cut-off – no cliffhanger, the story is self-contained and feels complete. (Nonetheless I hope they‘ll print the second season, too.) The hardcover has a good, sturdy feel to it, and the rearranging of the panels for this page layout (instead of the continuous scrolling) works really well.
