She expertly uses bold colors and exaggerated facial expressions, such as Bitty's large eyes, to convey emotion. Through a combination of hilarious team banter, foodie humor, and a lovable main character, Ukazu has crafted a compelling story about acceptance, identity, and confidence. Although this appears to be a simple sports comic at first glance, it is far more complex. However, despite some disheartening setbacks, eternal optimist Bitty is determined to overcome his checking anxiety, work his heart out, and win over the guys-and his handsome team captain-even if it means bribing everyone with homemade pecan pie. In addition, he is still unsure how to tell his tough guy team members that he's gay. An avid video blogger, recipe fanatic, and pie baker extraordinaire, Bitty is bewildered by his new world of bros, kegsters, and aggressive "checking"-roughness that wasn't allowed in his coed hockey league back home.
