Alter Ego is a passionate Girls Love drama from Spanish artist Ana C. Sánchez that captures the messy, heart-wrenching reality of loving someone who doesn't know you exist—romantically, at least. Published under TOKYOPOP's LoveLove imprint, this 13+ series delivers emotional intensity and gorgeous art in equal measure.

Noel has been in love with her best friend Elena for as long as she can remember. Every moment together is precious and painful. Every casual touch feels electric. And every day, Noel stays silent, too afraid to risk the friendship that means everything to her.

Then Elena starts dating a boy.

Noel's carefully maintained composure shatters. Watching Elena with someone else is unbearable—and in a moment of desperate vulnerability, Noel confesses her feelings. Not to Elena, but to a stranger.

Except the stranger isn't a stranger at all. It's June—Elena's other best friend. The girl Noel has always seen as her rival for Elena's attention. And now June knows Noel's deepest secret.

Suddenly, everything is complicated. June has her own feelings about Elena. Noel has to navigate a love triangle she never intended to create. And somewhere in the chaos of jealousy, longing, and unexpected connection, Noel might discover that the person she's meant to be with isn't who she expected.

Alter Ego is proof that sometimes the love you're looking for isn't where you expected—it's standing right beside you, waiting to be seen.
