I think that the librarian character Yal is an image of a stereotypical librarian - wearing glasses, strict, traditional, and masungit. Libraries and Librarians: did the story portray them well? I like that the story represented moreno characters as well. A story like this would be portrayed as something more dramatic if it's in a teleserye, for example.Īs for the art, it is very good. I like that it tackles same-sex relationships as something normal. The title can be a bit misleading since the main relationship isn't really about Alex. The main romance is between two guys (Yal and Diwa), and the story is about them and Alex's reactions to them. ![]() I like that there are some words from his dialect in the comics, though most of the dialogue is Tagalog. He adjusts to life in Manila and dealing with his strict supervisor. Though the cover and the title is about Alex, it's not all about him. I think the story is really cute but it was too short. Alex notices that Diwa and Yal know each other, but after some time he notices that the relationship between Diwa and Yal might be something deeper. Alex then works as a student assistant in the university library, where he meets his strict boss, Yal who is the library director. Since he's from the province, he lives with his cousin Diwa, who works for the school's security. Alex is a new student at a university in Manila. The story is set in the Philippines with Filipino characters. So what do I think of the story and how it portrayed libraries/librarians? Read on.

Habang nakakasama ni Alex ang kanyang Kuya Diwa at si Yal, hindi niya maiwasang mapuna na may kakaiba sa dalawa. Istrikto pero mabait ang kanyang Kuya Diwa. Sa pansamantalang pagtatrabaho ni Alex sa library bilang isang OJT, nakilala niya ang librarian na si Yal Ogana. Ito kasi ang kanyang guardian habang nag-aaral siya sa Maynila. "Malaki ang respeto at paghanga ni Alex sa pinsan niyang si Diwa. Written by Herbs Navasca, Illustrated by Mike Banting Here's a description of the book from the Black Ink Facebook page: What caught my attention is the plot I read on the back of the book, which tells that one of the characters is a librarian and the story is also set in a library. I found this particular comic, A Boy Named Alex, in Booksale SM City Iloilo branch. ![]() I have an account in Wattpad to read stories and hopefully post some stories in the future. I'm not saying it's bad, just maybe not for me and I haven't found a story that captivated me. When I try to read them, I can't get past the first few pages. ![]() To be honest, most Wattpad stories and novels aren't really my cup of tea. Judging from their covers and storylines, their stories are aimed towards the Wattpad reader demographic and they also try to appeal to manga and anime fans with their art style. Black Ink is a local comics publisher, a part of Precious Pages. There are local publishers to specialize in printing stories from Wattpad. In the local publishing scene, there has been a growth of books that were originally posted in the popular website Wattpad.
