Berto and his friends don't stand out for their grades or popularity. They're "at the back of the line," the ones who show up but no one notices, the ones who don't receive invitations or rumors. Until a mysterious graffiti on the blackboard changes the pace of their course... and perhaps also their place in the world.

With sensitivity, humor, and a generous dose of nostalgia, Pablo Carreiro creates an LGBTQ+ graphic novel for young adults that honestly portrays adolescence. A story of friendship, self-discovery, and visibility, set in 2022, where, even though we didn't win Eurovision, we learned to believe we were the best.

Pablo Carreiro (Vigo, Galicia) is an illustrator and comic book author with a vision influenced by manga and pop culture. His series Chico! explores queer adolescence with honesty, visibility, and generational references, bringing it closer to Spanish youth graphic comics for the first time.
