Im so excited for this one, the international debut of Richard Mercado with Coming Out Perfect. Ive been a fan of Richards’ since I read Ang Mainlove Ako Sa Isang Sakristan online and now hes going global on July 7!

This graphic novel follows Kevin, a teen who tries changing everything about himself to fit in with the popular crowd. But he soon learns that being true to yourself matters way more than being “perfect.”

I’m so excited for this one! Sun Chaser premieres free on YouTube next Monday, June 22! Created by Disney veteran Bobby Pontillas, it follows a teen who discovers magic powers to battle Filipino mythical monsters. To build the full season, the creators launch a Kickstarter the same day.

This is my first reaction video ever and I’m kinda shy but let’s support this series ya’ll.
