The premise and storyline made no sense, the main character literally had no agency in her own storyline, the humor was stupid, and the entire thing stank of sexism and misogyny. No thank you.

This is an odd book. The art is exaggerated and cartoonish, but the subject matter is fairly explicit. It’s about a woman named Beatrice, mistreated by her sexist cad of a boss, George, until she gets revenge with magic that turns him into a woman named Giselle. Oh, and Beatrice has a penis because she was partially transformed by the man who gave her the gender-swapping magic.

After George becomes Giselle, Beatrice forces herself on her and then makes Giselle clean her apartment as her live-in maid. Complicating things for Giselle is the fact that she has a thick accent and speaks in broken English, so she has a hard time explaining her predicament to anyone. As time passes, their relationship changes in unexpected ways.

I liked the art, and the story kind of reminds me of Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In, but this is also a book about two reprehensible people. George was a scumbag, but Beatrice isn’t particularly likable once she gets her revenge, and Giselle soon becomes sympathetic.

Not quite a whole story - well, this is the first issue of a graphic series. The art is lovely, the story is strong... but there's no one in the story that I like or much care about. Anne is an idiot - as she demonstrates by solving her problem with the owl on her own, after it's already caused serious, unalterable disruption in her life. The Royals are variously annoying - the princess is a brat, the princes are fools, the king is either an utter idiot or a lech - or both - and the queen is just foul. Francoise is also an idiot. Most of the townsfolk are dirty-minded and weak - fall into believing any gossip they hear. And the birds are pains. So while the story was mildly interesting, I find no reason to reread it or read the next issue - I don't care what happens to any of them.… (plus d'informations)
