Book 2 of School for Extraterrestrial Girls (which is called "Girls in Flight" came out this week from Papercutz and personally I think @jamienoguchi really kicked ass on the art! The guy just keeps leveling up with every new thing I give him to draw.

I wanted to share this sequence because it's one that keeps getting brought up in reviews and I think is really central to the theme of this series that sometimes we all feel like aliens in our own skin. Sometimes even becoming the you that you were meant to be raises more questions.

I always laugh at video games and fantasy stories that create things like sexy lizard women and give them boobs (a thing that lizards don't need) so this seemed like a great time to put my/our money where my mouth is while also talking about how that would feel for someone who has always thought of themselves as one thing and is beginning to realize that they're something completely different that comes with a different set of rules.

I'd love it if you guys would go show support to The School for Extraterrestrial Girls and buy book 2 which is in stores now!

Meet Misako Sato!

Misako is one of the main characters of the series “The School for Extraterrestrial Girls” written by @jeremywhitley and illustrated by @jamienoguchi

Misako grew up as a foster kid in Washington  D.C. where she spent years getting in trouble and getting passed from one foster home to another. She learned how to take care of herself early and tries to look out for others, but doesn’t trust easily and almost never forgive.

Misako grew up thinking she was a normal boring kid, but sure she was supposed to be something special. One day a fight with her foster father caused her to lose her medical alert bracelet, which was secretly enchanted to hider her true form.

Misako is a faerie, not just from a different planet but from a completely different dimension. In her faerie form she has wings, bluish skin, pointy ears - the works. She’s also capable of doing magic, though she doesn’t have a spellbook to teach her and, as she’ll discover, her people and her dimension were destroyed years before she knew what she was. She very well might be the last of her kind. And if that wasn’t hard enough, her new friend Tara is one of the race of aliens who destroyed Misako’s home.
