I Think I Am In Friend-Love With You Description
Review
"Look around. You won't find anything sweeter than this lonely little book anywhere in your immediate vicinity. Unless for some reason there's, like, a bunny knitting a scarf for a puppy. That might be sweeter. Aside from that, this book is definitely your best bet." --Avery Monsen, coauthor of K is for Knifeball and All My Friends Are Dead
"This is one of my favorite comics ever, a sweet ode to platonic love that will echo through the ages." --MariNaomi, author of Kiss & Tell
"Funny and beautifully drawn, I Think I Am In Friend-Love With You is the bittersweet tale of friendships in the age of social media in which many can relate." --Esther Pearl Watson, author of Unlovable
"The warmth of Yumi's soft brushstrokes and vulnerability of her words make me feel less alone in this weird world. I think I am in book-love." --Lisa Hanawalt, author of My Dirty Dumb Eyes
"Yumi Sakugawa's small, sweet hardcover I Think I am in Friend-Love With You (Adams Media) feels so necessary. Sakugawa's one-eyed, vaguely socklike protagonist fantasizes a future of book-swapping, Tumblr post–reblogging, coffee-sipping platonic love, but reveals the most simple of needs in the book's simple black-and-white illustrations." - Bitch Magazine
"I Think I am In Friend Love With You...chronicles a bashful cyclops with a good old fashioned friend crush. Sakaguwa's comics, while being hilarious, are imbued with a quiet magic that somehow makes a glowing computer screen as ripe with beauty and mystery as a night sky full of twinkling stars." - Huffington Post Arts
The comic...expresses all the delightful, little things we hope our best...pals will do for us.... [Yumi's] work has an eerie, wondrous quality to it, blipped with panels that will make your heart soar and dip and soar again. Themes of space and love pull readers into a pensive world of fantastical creatures." - NPR's Code Switch
