Oni Press has announced the upcoming graphic novel I Felt Myself Slipping. The graphic novel follows two aspiring Olympic gymnasts as they navigate their lives and what is happening between them. I Felt Myself Slipping comes to stores September 11, 2024.
Here’s the official synopsis:
After losing her dad in a car accident, level-ten gymnast Riley Glass moves to Stephon, Illinois, where she struggles to fit in with the other gymnasts. She misses her friends back home and is cautious of making new connections at Station Six, which is made all the more difficult as she’s hard of hearing and none of her new teammates know ASL. When she meets Kota, Riley is surprised by Kota’s effort in learning ASL in order to communicate with her. Kota is determined to make Riley feel more at home, even though she struggles with her own anxieties. Kota wants to be the best gymnast and make it all the way to the Olympics, but her fears of getting injured could stand in the way of achieving her goals. As they make their way to the prestigious U.S. Classic gymnastics event, their future as friends and as gymnasts will be put to the test.
