Girlsplaining

In this candid, semi-autobiographical comic series, writer-artist Katja Klengel explores the awkward, funny, and often uncomfortable realities of growing up female. Originally published in Germany by Reprodukt, Girlsplaining (2018–present) collects interconnected short stories that tackle topics like puberty, body image, and sexuality with a warm, unfiltered honesty. Klengel’s distinctive, expressive art and relatable voice make this a refreshingly frank addition to the landscape of coming-of-age comics.
