Thieves, A shōjo manga-inspired high school romance heist comic by French cartoonist Lucie Bryon, about a girl who discovers she’s a narcoleptic kleptomaniac and finds love along the way. Tillie Walden calls Thieves “a decidedly queer adventure – full of heart, tension, beauty, and so much love,” and Molly Knox Ostertag says it’s “a rambunctious, charming story about high schoolers partying, falling in love, and committing acts of reverse larceny.”
