So the general theme to this is that Yorick is the only man on the planet to have not been wiped out by a strange virus. As you can probably guess, this means that all the girls that don't meet Yorick (and even some that do) have turned lesbian through no choice of their own. What's good about this comic is. at least they accept that would happen and it's not really portrayed as a wank fest or anything similar but neither do they shy away from it.
Which means that although the main character is Yorick, there's a lot of girls hooking up and some rather interesting little scenarios and pairings amongst that.

There are some lesbian sex scenes and some characters are even lesbian to begin with - shock horror! And I certainly found some of them very fanciable. Of course, most of that is technically an interwoven side plot to Yorick's search for his backpacking girlfriend but there's been enough to make me purchase all the volumes and issues so far and keep me keen. And I have to admit, I'm terrible for only reading things because they've got gay characters or someone in them that I fancy. Shallow, that's me. But at least that proves this has something to keep me entertained for 57 issues so far!
