Amy lives on a colony in deep space, but when her father loses his job the family moves back to Earth, where she has to adapt to heavier gravity, a new school, and a strange boy with no flavor.

Stephen Mccranie's Space Boy Volume 6

A sci-fi drama of a high school aged girl who belongs in a different time, a boy possessed by emptiness as deep as space, an alien artifact, mysterious murder, and a love that crosses light years. To Amy, everyone has a flavor. Her mom is the flavor of mint--sharp and bright. Her dad is like hot chocolate--sweet and full of gentle warmth. Amy lives on a mining colony in out in deep space, but when her dad loses his job the entire family is forced to move back to Earth. Amy says goodbye to her best friend Jemmah and climbs into a cryotube where she will spend the next 30 years frozen in a state of suspended animation, hurtling in a rocket toward her new home. Her life will never be the same, but all she can think about is how when she gets to Earth, Jemmah will have grown up without her. When Amy arrives on Earth, she feels like an alien in a strange land. The sky is beautiful but gravity is heavy and the people are weird. Stranger still is the boy she meets at her new school--a boy who has no flavor.

A sci-fi drama of a high school aged girl who belongs in a different time, a boy possessed by emptiness as deep as space, an alien artifact, mysterious murder, and a love that crosses light years. To Amy, everyone has a flavor. Jemmah, her best friend from the colony, is the flavor of pineapple and jalapeño. Cassie, from Earth, is like red pepper. After being forced to leave her space-colony home when her dad was fired, Amy starts to adapt to a new life on Earth. High school seems difficult at first, but a close group of friends begin to make the transition easier for her. At the same time, Amy finds herself fascinated with a mysterious boy named Oliver, the only person Amy has yet to be able to place a flavor for.

I don't think I want to write a review for every one of these because there are a lot. But if you want a really wholesome and precious story, then I highly recommend these. The art is really wonderful and the story is so cute and fun! I can't wait to continue on with these hopefully forever! haha They take hardly any time to read and are just a fun time honestly. I've been slowly and carefully reading a few graphic novels here and there. For some reason they really intimidate me, but this is such a good one to start with if you're new here like me to graphic novels.

It's got a lot of sci-fi elements going on, but it works to tell a very relatable teen fish-out-of-water story. No elements come off as out of place or over exaggerated. Pretty good so far.

Not another high school drama. Amy's from space, she's sort of a timer traveler, and she has synthesia, giving every person she meets a unique "flavor". It's fun to see her discover Earth (albeit a slightly a bit into the future version).

This time around, she's got a foil in Oliver. I'm not sure what his deal is, but there's just enough of a mystery about him that has me intrigued. Also, they're both "new" to high school/Earth in a sense so they're both discovering things that the high school students around them take for granted.

It's a nice slice of life story with some futuristic fringes. Like, how does Amy's pigtails defy gravity like that? Crazy.

Edit:
Oh yeah, think there's a typo. "How about we met here again after school" probably should be "meet".

I did not expect to love this so much, I just 💕

This is so sweet and amazing! I read the webtoon, so it's not exactly the same. The characters are perfect and deserve all the love! I wouldn't go as far as to say that the series is diverse, but there are major BIPOC characters in the story. And the author is so cute and sweet! this series is all of the love
