Kim's Theory

What would you do if you knew the person who saved your life was destined to die soon? How could you change the course of history to prevent a tragedy without altering your own fate? This deeply moving series blends science fiction, romantic comedy, and a heavy dose of ‘80s music as it follows Dakho and Taylor through two timelines— one where Dakho time-travels, and another where he never existed, having sacrificed himself so others like him could experience love.   This time-travel paradox is the core conflict in a story that unfolds across multiple volumes, exploring the boys’ love (volumes I & II), the principles of time travel (Logbook), and the lives the protagonists never had to endure thanks to Dakho’s sacrifice (April Tales in August).   Set in 1986, these interwoven stories form a rich coming-of-age tale tackling the universal struggles of adolescence— bullying, sexual identity, social belonging, concerns about the future, and mental health. With well-developed, complex characters, readers will recognize themselves in their stories. The past is gay, and the future is gluten- free.
