In case you’re feeling let down because you didn’t get your Harry Styles tickets (I feel you), here’s another possible way  to kick start your heart.  TidalWave Comics has just added singer and pop phenomenon Benson Boone to its long-running FAME comic book biography series, and the result is… not exactly what you’d expect. FAME: Benson Boone, released this past week (January 28th), tells the story of Boone’s meteoric rise to stardom — but does so in a Japanese anime–inspired style that gives the singer an unexpectedly intense edge.

Not only did this mean a completely new floor plan to navigate, but it also meant I could no longer stroll there from my apartment — major bummer. Still, once I got my bearings in the sprawling new space, I found plenty to love, including the building’s abundance of natural light, cool views and  of course, an abundance of fantastic art.
