Hayley Kiyoko, Ava Max, and MAY-A Partner with WEBTOON for “Love Stories,” a New LGBTQ+ Webcomic
Atlantic Records’ own Haley Kiyoko, Ava Max, and MAY-A have partnered with WEBTOON, the world’s largest digital comics platform, for “Love Stories,” a new webcomic that celebrates LGBTQ stories right in time for Pride month.
Available exclusively on WEBTOON, the three-episode miniseries will explore deeply personal love stories inspired by songs from trailblazing pop star Hayley Kiyoko, global pop sensation Ava Max, and acclaimed pop singer-songwriter MAY-A.
Inspired by Kiyoko’s “forever (feat. Johnny Rain),” her episode from WEBTOON creators Color LES and Galatea, will be available June 12 on WEBTOON, with Ava Max’s episode, “Sleepwalker,” from WEBTOON artist Hannah Pattern launching on June 19. MAY-A’s episode from WEBTOON creator Mai Hirschfeld will be available June 26 with the episode inspired by her upcoming new single “Something Familiar.”
Haley Kiyoko shared a little bit about the inspiration for this new webcomic. “Pride Month is all about celebrating and learning to love yourself,” she says. “A big part of why I’m excited to collaborate with WEBTOON is the opportunity to hopefully inspire people around the world to love themselves in a new way, bringing hope to people who are at different points in their Pride journey.”
“I have such a soft spot for telling and sharing queer stories, so being able to see my own inspire a webcomic on WEBTOON is so sick. I hope it helps others within the LGBTQ+ community feel seen,” says MAY-A.
WEBTOON’s VP of Content David Lee says that “Providing a platform for creators to tell authentic, personal stories has been at the heart of WEBTOON’s mission since day one. WEBTOON is home to amazing stories and voices from the across LGBTQ community where artists are bringing new diversity and perspective to comics with their work. We’re incredibly proud to have our creators collaborate with these iconic recording artists to celebrate and elevate the LGBTQ community in a new medium during Pride Month.”
We are excited to see all three webcomics in the miniseries this Pride month!
