The first volume of After Hours is the beginning of an endlessly endearing story about a woman in her early 20s, who, feeling a little adrift and dissatisfied with her life, has the borders around her torn down after a fling with a beautiful DJ. It's about finding new narratives for yourself, embracing self-discovery in unexpected places, and rad dance parties put together by two women in love. I’m excited to see where Emi and Kei take us next. Recommended By Cosima C., Powells.com
