A Non-Binary Goofy Movie Meets Spirited Away in Love, Misha YA OGN
Danish cartoonist Jam Aden's debut YA graphic novel, Love, Misha has been described as A Goofy Movie meets Spirited Away. A story about a non-binary teen and their mother who, during a contentious road trip, take a wrong turn that lands them in the Realm of the Spirits, where they are surrounded by trickster spirits who aren't so keen on human trespassers, with no obvious way out. Love, Misha has been picked up by Samia Fakih at First Second where publication is currently planned for the spring of 2025. Jam Aden's agent Jennifer Laughran at Andrea Brown Literary Agency negotiated the deal.
Jam Aden tweeted "Exciting news everybody! My graphic novel "Love, Misha" will be published by @01FirstSecond in 2025! Big thanks to my agent @literaticat
