Le Jardin, Paris, by Gaëlle Geniller
"Le Jardin" (the garden) is a Parisian cabaret owned by a woman meeting growing success. All the women working there are named after a flower and they feel like family. Rose, a 19 years old boy, was born and grew up in this establishment. He also wants to be a dancer and to perform on stage, in front of a crowd, just like his friends. He will quickly become the main attraction.
I absolutely loved this graphic novel. A friend made me discover the artist a while ago and I've been obsessed with her art ever since. So when I had the opportunity to buy this, I did.
It's an adorable story, the themes it deals with (gender, how to deal with people's looks, being perceived as a woman in society...) are approached with subtlety and care.
The relationship between Aimé and Rose is so romantic but can also be read as platonic (unless you follow the author on instagram, haha... even though it's where I got confirmation that Aimé is on the ace spectrum). Anyway, loved it, I can't wait to read Gaëlle Geniller's next book when it comes out in 2024.
French version under the cut
"Le Jardin" est un cabaret parisien au succès grandissant dirigé par une femme. Toutes celles qui y travaillent ont un nom de fleur et l'ambiance y est familiale. Rose, un garçon de 19 ans, est né et a grandi dans cet établissement. Il souhaite à son tour être danseur et se produire sur la scène, devant un public, comme ses amies. Il va rapidement en devenir l'attraction principale.
J’ai absolument adoré cette BD. Une amie m’a fait découvrir l’artiste y’a un moment et depuis je suis obnubilée par ses dessins. Donc, quand j’ai eu l’occasion de l’acheter j’ai sauté dessus.
C’est une histoire adorable, les thèmes abordés (le genre, comment gérer le regard des gens, être perçu comme une femme dans la société…) l’étaient avec subtilité et délicatesse.
La relation entre Aimé et Rose est tellement romantique mais peut aussi être lue comme platonique (si on suit pas l’autrice sur instagram, haha… même si c’est sur insta que j’ai eu la confirmation que Aimé est sur le spectre de l’asexualité donc bon). Bref, gros coup de cœur, j’attends avec hâte 2024 pour la sortie de la prochaine BD de Gaëlle Geniller.

year 3 nobara
[id: It’s a drawing sheet of Kugisaki Nobara as a third year. She is drawn with brown skin and buzzed, pink hair which has heart patterns bleached into it. The first drawing is a half body where she is resting on arm against something flat while her free hand is holding onto her hammer. She is dressed in her uniform though her jacket is open and the first few buttons of her shirt are undone giving her a casual look. The second drawing shows details of the back of the haircut, fully displaying the heart shapes. The last drawing is a side profile of her where she is smiling. She is also drawn with heart earrings and a second piercing + industrial piercing in her right ear. /end id]
full credits to @/tommy_hilfuego on Instagram for the hair!! saw it and immediately decided Nobara needed to have that cut <33
[id: it’s two screenshots from @/tommy_hilfuego on Instagram showing their buzzed hair which has heart patterns bleached into it. /end id]
