Fueled by a period emergency and a lack of supplies in the school bathroom's machine, four friends go on a campaign to end period stigma and increase access to products for all students in need.
Abby (the redheaded artist) is the main person invested in this and she causes some trouble when she gets in too deep.
Brit (the Mr. Darcy-obsessed black intellectual) provides representation for those that suffer extremely painful periods.
Christine (the glasses-wearing blonde) is the comic relief, closeted lesbian, who is very low-key about pretty much everything except her crush on one of her friends.
New girl Sasha (the romantic, petite Asian) is adopted by the trio after experiencing the classic embarrassing first period story. White pants. At school.
My only criticism about this is that I want more. I want answers as to why Brit suffers so much during her periods. I want to know Christine's backstory and whether her feelings are reciprocated. I want something resolved with Sasha's distant, likely strict mother.
The art is adorable. The writing is great. Just read it.
Period.
