Overview
A slow-burn LGBTQ+ romantic comedy graphic novel about time-travelling Edwardian dandy who lands in modern-day Hong Kong and befriends grumpy teenager Charlie to survive in the 21st century.
Who knows what could happen when an English Edwardian dandy lands in modern day Hong Kong and has to face everything from bubblegum to online bullies in this slice-of-life comedy adventure!
Evelyn Boddington is a classically handsome, English, foppish dandy. He’s more used to writing poetry and sighing about the futility of life, but when he falls asleep in an ancient family wardrobe after a drunken night’s hide and seek with his chums, his boring existence is about to change forever. Emerging rather worse for wear in an antique shop in modern-day Hong Kong is not what he had in mind for his peaceful snooze, and he’s going to need the help of 16-year-old Charlie to survive all of the tribulations that await him. For one, Hong Kong isn’t a British colony anymore, and his fascination with bubblegum is only going to lead him into facial hair danger…
Perfect for fans of Thieves, Heartstopper and The Girl from the Sea.
