For our first issue of the year, we explore something that’s been talked about over and over, yet we don’t fully understand: love, starting with one of, if not the most, vibrant love teams today, Maymay Entrata and Edward Barber, a.k.a. MayWard, photographed by BJ Pascual and styled by Quayn Pedroso. #MayWardforSCOUT

Inside: What it means to be in love, according to modern couples; an essay on falling in love with internet strangers; dissecting the secrets on how to make a love song; a tribute to Wattpad, the platform that changed publishing forever.

Also: talking about the Southeast Asian music scene, if it exists, with Charlie Lim; how to make your own collective according to Reconstruct Collective, pleasures toys, and a fashion editorial on “falling” in love.

SCOUT issue no. 34 #MayWardforSCOUT will be in select National Book Stores, Power Books, and other locations near you starting Feb. 20.
