Buuza is incredible.
It's "set in an urban fantasy 90's middle east and central asia," which means the characters use bulky cellphones and can turn into animals.
...I think. The lore is slowwwllly being revealed.
What we do know is that in addition to nationalities, everyone is associated with an animal, and one character actually does turn into a cat. So if someone calls a character a bird, that's because they actually are a bird.
There's also this really neat magic weaving based on astrology, and the politics are really well thought out. This is a fully fleshed out world, and it feels familiar in spite of the fact that we know nothing about it.
It's also a telephone meet cute slowburn, so if you like that sort of thing you're going to be happy. It's on chapter 100 and they haven't met yet. The way it's set up, it's entirely possible they won't for 100 more chapters.
The interim is far from boring, because the main couple is surrounded by other, important, interesting characters.
Just. Just look at them. If you can't look at them then just know that the creator took the time to create character profiles that include their sexualities and pronouns.
We have your trans guy who works as a sex hotline operator, your gay man who's struggling with certain revelations about his parentage, your lesbian who accidentally stumbles just to the protagonist's life, your your bi genderfluid with a bit of a power complex, your sensitive (in a good way) rich guy who hasn't come out as nonbinary yet, and your rich and powerful lesbian.
And that's just the main characters.
The entire style is very understated--the color palette is mostly earthy tones and the story just gently drops you into the setting immediately before gradually revealing the world around you. It's great. I love it.
There's not too much to warn about yet, but there's some fantasy discrimination involved. Their social hierarchy is based on a lie, and the government is desperately trying to maintain control.
I've already mentioned the surprise parentage and the nature of the hotline, and there's some uncomfortable advances from the main character's boss in more recent chapters.
Nothing is overt or in your face, but it's not just implied either. They make it clear through dialogue and body language. Nothing that drags the comic down--it's very conversational, very believable interactions.
Overall, this is in my top five comics. I'm sad won't be able to pre-order the physical copy.
