"That's the real question: do they fight while wearing a dress, though?"

Michelle Lam is the author and illustrator of Meesh the Bad Demon, her debut graphic novel. Michelle wears many hats; she has worked as a story artist in the animation industry, a YouTuber, a comic artist on Instagram, and is now a graphic novel author!

In this episode, we talk with Michelle about her new novel. We get into her inspiration of magical girl manga and anime as well as the deeper themes present in the story, including racism and the demonization of femininity. We also make predictions for what will happen in book two!

It was so fun and insightful to talk to Michelle-- we're so grateful she lent us her time! Go check out Meesh the Bad Demon and Michelle's other work if you enjoyed our discussion!
