“I wasn’t trying to pretend it was anything other than what it was,” says Chua. ROADQUEEN surpassed its $5,500 funding goal in the first hour and raised more than $70k by the time it closed. What follows is a riff on western rom-com and Japanese manga tropes tied together with a charming sense of humor and genuine emotional heft, creating a package that’s remarkably specific in its focus, which Chua believes contributed to the book’s massive success on Kickstarter in 2018. But when Bethany gets taken hostage, Leo has no choice but to accept the kidnapper’s strange demand-prove she can be a good girlfriend or lose Bethany forever. Leo is the most popular girl in school who would rather spend time with her beloved motorcycle Bethany than with any of her many admirers. The world of ROADQUEEN: Eternal Road Trip to Love, a romantic comedy manga by Adventure Time: Distant Lands Storyboard Director Mira Ong Chua, is fast and furious.
