Line 1:
{{
An [[Animesque]] series written and drawn by [http://lilrivkah.livejournal.com/ Rivkah]. May be a Comic Book, a Manga or a Graphic Novel, [[Your Mileage May Vary|depending on your perspective]]. That aside, Steady Beat is something of a [[Coming Out Story]]; differs in several ways from the cliche, as it tells from the perspective of the straight character.
''[[Steady Beat]]'' tells the story of an [[Ordinary High School Student]] Leah Winters, who grew up in the shadow of her [[Cool Big Sis]] Sarai. One afternoon, during soccer, Leah finds a letter addressed to her sister, and quickly opens it to find that it's a love letter adressed to her sister, only to find out to things: a) It's very melodramatic and cheesy, and b)that it's signed "Love, Jessica".
This becomes a big deal for Leah, who spends the next few hours unable to concentrate, wondering how to ask Sarai regarding her sexuality. In her own words: "How do ask your sister something like that? "Hey, sis...are you gay?"" She makes several failed attempts to ask her sister; only to find red roses sent to her sister from "a friend". Also, did we mention that a mysterious, unnamed man has been watching Leah read the letter and wondering about it? Thus the story goes. [[Better Than It Sounds]].
Line 9:
The series has currently two volumes out, published by [[Tokyo Pop]], (who also did a few other series similairly Animesque), with the third volume getting released on an unknown date.
