Description

Ren is suddenly transported from his mundane life in 1996 to the year 2122 as a subject in an elaborate student exchange program to study the past in Chelsey Furedi’s exciting and mind-bending Project Nought.It has been a high streak for queer graphic novels over the past year and this is another excellent edition, taking a fresh and fun approach to the time travel genre and delivering it through a large cast of endlessly endearing characters and eye-popping art full of bold colors and sci-fi goodness. Combining playful romantic friction with a narrative of the dark side that lurks under any society that presents itself as a utopia and the dangers of probing the mysteries keeping it hidden, Project Nought is a fast paced and blissfully nuanced tale with twists that keep you guessing and friendships that will melt your heart.

There is sci-fi fun, friendship and romance abound in Project Nought. An interesting story with lots of surprises and heart, I adored this.

For fans of Kiss Number 8 and On a Sunbeam, this debut graphic novel is a fast-paced time travel adventure with a hint of romance that has garnered 1.5 million views as a Tapas webcomic. The characters were so lovable and easy to root for. Ren was sort of shy and anxious. Mars was excitable and eager. Jia was withdrawn and jaded. Phoebe was friendly and fun. Phoebe was especially great and sort of hilarious sometimes. There were a couple other characters too with smaller parts. And they all had good hearts. I liked them all. EDIT: Actually gonna just put this here, I think I was too soft on Mars. I’d genuinely say he drops the book to around 2.5 stars for me, not any lower because the art still carried the book for me, and I liked Jia and some of the humor. But genuinely I don’t think I liked Mars anywhere within the book. I don’t see how he has such fast chemistry with Ren when all I see is him treating Rem like some museum exhibit and not a person for a lot of the book early on. I don’t remember him ever apologize for that either. And him quite literally stanning a corporation and being concerned about “breaking the law” when they’re going to save the other subjects was hard to read. It’s not funny it was just frustrating. He is barely held accountable for any of this plus how he treated Jia about their ex-partner and thus congrats Mars, you’ve made me so pissed in retrospect at your character i dropped my review score by a full star. Ren sort of falls for his time travel program partner Mars, a really sweet guy who idolizes Chronotech. Mars has funky-colored hair, is enthusiastic about everything, and stans the head of Chronotech, Eliza Yu. There’s a little bit of kissing that goes on in the story, but it isn’t fully fleshed out why Ren is interested in Mars. It seems like they could be just friends who bond over laser video games and candy, but suddenly they’re into each other? It’s hard to swoon when you don’t see the push and pull between the characters getting to know each other and crush on each other.

A New Zealand teen is dragged from 1996 into the future by a shady company in this work that expands on a popular webcomic. Project Nought is a very fast-paced adventure that’s perfect if you’re currently in a reading slump and want to try something different. The romance element is incredibly sweet, and the plot is really original and fresh. I also appreciated how authentic the representation was throughout. Furedi has created a diverse and loveable cast of characters accompanied by some fantastic artwork and original ideas. And they share the same panel a lot because this is a love story. Multiple love stories in fact. Plus, the far future may have many things but what it doesn’t have is straight people (every dystopia needs utopian aspects).Characters: I adored all of the main characters, especially Mars, Jia and Tāne. I loved the casual representation and varying personalities of each character and all of them were a delight. Stunning character designs and expressive drawings made the characters pop and implicitly gave exposition to their personalities well (Jia and Mars' character designs are so cute, they were my favorites by far). While I found aspects of Ren and Mars' character development too fast, Jia and Phoebe were paced well. Thank you to the author, El and Harper Insider, and Harper 360YA, for sending me a proof in exchange for an honest review!

I am looking forward to reading more from the author, and I would love to revisit this world someday. I’d highly recommend this graphic novel to anyone who loves Heartstopper, Bloom, or Cosmoknights! Yet the only one who seems concerned by this is one of our leads, Ren, while the other past kids decided, "Hehehe no consequences for anything we do here 😈," which is actually an equally valid response from their perspective. Except what about the girl from the past who was tragically injured two years ago? The one that everyone was told was brought home safe and sound but whose student host insists that she died before their very eyes? Clearly, there's some dishonesty going on here, and it's not all fun and games and no consequences. For fans of Kiss Number 8 and On a Sunbeam, this debut graphic novel is a fast-paced time-travel adventure with a hint of romance that has garnered 1.5 million views as a Tapas webcomic. But this doesn’t make Project Nought a bad graphic novel. It makes me not the right reader. I borrowed a friend’s tween as a test reader because I felt I couldn’t truly do Project Nought justice without someone who thought 1996 was the distant past. They loved the novel. The multiple character views aren’t just artistically impressive but helped them follow the complex plot, which they said was fast-paced and exciting. They also liked seeing themself, and Aotearoa, in well-produced graphic novel.Ren Mittal is a teenager in 1996 New Zealand. He plans to run away from home when he suddenly appears in the year 2122 as a “subject” of a time travel program by a company called Chronotech. Chronotech intakes these subjects from different eras in the past so that students of the 2100s can learn their history and culture from them directly. When in the middle of an interview, Ren meets someone he last expects to see in 2122, which leads to the question: is Chronotech actually doing good, or is there something more nefarious going on?
