2.5 rounded down. This book is a real bummer. The stories want to be profound in their mundanity but most miss the mark for me. I read another Tomine and loved it but this one did not hit for me. I think I’ll come back cause I love the art, but “serious” graphic novels don’t have to be this dark or pretentious.

These 'comics' are subtle short stories about relationships recast in graphic-novel form. Is there a genre name for this?

sage's review against another edition

It does not sit right with me, using the term "oriental" about a person. About things, cuisines, and stuff like that, fine... but about people? It's a no from me (someone who's half korean)... and it was on the very first page, soooo
