Meesh the Bad Demon

Here’s the description of the comic from the publisher:

“Meesh is a bad demon. ‘Bad’ in that she always sees the good in those around her—which isn’t how a demon is meant to feel or act.

“Bullied by the other demons, twelve-year-old Meesh is more likely to be found reading magazines from Plumeria City—the fairy realm—and fangirling about the fairy princesses. But when disaster strikes and all of demon-kind is threatened, Meesh must journey to other worlds in search of help.

“As luck would have it, she meets a fairy princess right away. Things in the fairy realm aren’t so perfect either, though. As Meesh makes surprising new friends and unites a band of outcasts, she learns there’s much more to being a demon than she ever realized. And learning to love herself might just uncover the secret to saving her home.”

And the details shared about Lam:
