This captivating coming-of-age story set in the world of e-sports will
have readers cheering for girl gamer Vicky Tan as she overcomes social
anxiety, self-doubt, and an overprotective big brother to pursue her
dream of becoming a competitive gamer. From the Tapas webcomic, a
2021 Eisner Award nominee.
High school student Vicky lives a secret life. To most, she is a meek
pushover, often in the shadow of her e-sports superstar of a brother,
Virgil. Unknown to anyone, however, she dons a secret identity when she
logs on to play Xenith Orion, the multiplayer game dominating the
e-sports scene. She knows firsthand the harassment female gamers often
experience, but when an opportunity arises in a local tournament,
Vicky--mask in hand--cannot resist the challenge. Sneaking around and
hiding only works for so long, and once the truth comes out, what will
it mean for Vicky and those who trusted her?
