YMMV / Sisters (Raina Telgemeier)

Go To

  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Many have assumed Amara may potentially be on the Autism spectrum - Given the time this story takes place, Amara being on the spectrum and being undiagnosed is completely understandable.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: The chapter where the Telgemeiers' pets keep dying goes from funny to dark to gut-bustingly hilarious.
  • Even Better Sequel: Generally considered to be an improvement over Smile due to even prettier artwork and a more dramatic, heavy story. A more ambiguous and less Anvilicious ending is also a welcome improvement.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Amara. At the end we're supposed to sympathize with her, but after how rude she was to both Raina and everyone else, it's hard to take her seriously.
  • Values Dissonance: The fact that Raina and Amara were left alone in the desert on the side of the road would earn way way more than a simple My God, What Have I Done?, along with the fact that their mother and Will literally hitchhiked.
