Pixels of You
Pixels of You | Yuko Ota, Ananth Hirsh
11 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
A human and human-presenting AI slowly become friends--and maybe more--in this moving YA graphic novel In a near future, augmentation and AI changed everything and nothing. Indira is a human girl who has been cybernetically augmented after a tragic accident, and Fawn is one of the first human-presenting AI. They have the same internship at a gallery, but neither thinks much of the other's photography. But after a huge public blowout, their mentor gives them an ultimatum: work together on a project or leave her gallery forever. Grudgingly, the two begin to collaborate, and what comes out of it is astounding and revealing for both of them. Pixels of You is about the slow transformation of a rivalry to a friendship to something more as Indira and Fawn navigate each other, the world around them--and what it means to be an artist and a person.

Thought it was cute. I love the whole theme of “self” with “acceptance” being important.

Here‘s my #bookspin and #doublespin picks. My double spin is actually a reread for a book panel I‘m on so that one will definitely be read this month. Pretty good start I should get both of these done! @TheAromaofBooks

There are quite a few reviews calling this bland/trite/superficial. I didn't find it that way at all! I went in expecting a cute F/F AI/human romance, and what I got was a subtle, somewhat sparse (but not in a bad way) story about chronic pain, trauma, art, seeing, self, and belonging. #graphicnovels #romance #sf

shanaqui Thank you for the review! Sounds like I want to give it a try. 2y

When you thought your graphic novel was going to be a cute Sapphic AI/human romance and it turns out to also be a kinda harrowing chronic pain and trauma journey

Library graphic novel. Apparently it's a Sapphic romance between a human and an A.I.

On my hook : first sleeve of the recycled-denim ripple pullover. #litsycrafters

Two young interns—one human, one robot—at an art gallery in future NYC hate each other‘s art and are prickly with each other. When forced by their boss to collaborate, their distrust fades as they get to know each other. Sweet, quiet, queer romance portrayed in manga-like full colour art. #YA #LGBTQ #comics

Tensions between older-style robots and the new (expensive!) human-presenting kind add realistic texture to this seemingly simple story about a relationship between a human and a robot.

The two main characters in this graphic novel are Fawn, a human-presenting sentient robot, and Indira, who‘s South Asian American. This page gives you a good idea of JR Doyle‘s manga-like artwork. There‘s a lot of deep purples and pinks throughout.

Starting a new book today, which happens to be Pancake Tuesday, and I grabbed a random bookmark out of my huge stash. What are the odds that it would be a bookmark with pancakes on it? 🤪
