I Think I Am In Friend-Love With You
I Think I Am In Friend-Love With You | Yumi Sakugawa
13 posts | 17 read | 13 to read
I have a confession to make. I think I am in friend-love with you. What's friend-love? It's that super-awesome bond you share with someone who makes you happy every time you text each other, or meet up for an epic outing. It's not love-love. You don't want to swap saliva; you want to swap favorite books. But it's just as intense and just as amazing. And it's this search for that connection that comic-book artist Yumi Sakugawa captures in I Think I Am in Friend-Love with You. It's perfect if you've ever fallen in friend-love and want to show that person how much you love them...in a platonic way, of course.

An adorably drawn ode to platonic love.
It's sparse but that's the beauty of it as I kept flipping the pages because the few intersected words work hand in hand with the matching illustrations.

In hindsight, this feels like an unsent letter or text. The thing that gets written in deep thought as we think about, or maybe overthink, about something. It's short and well written.

This was a really cute, quick read about platonic love.
I thought the message here was very sweet :)

I spent the first 2/3 thinking about how sweet this is, and the last 1/3 wondering if it's actually creepy?! Am I the only one? Either way, I liked it!

vuhlrybyhn I am so happy that you loved it! This book is so adorable! ❤ 6y
MaleficentBookDragon I agree. It is super cute but just creepy enough that I‘m not sending it to anyone. 3y

#HeyJune Day 22: Definitely a modern #PSILoveYou vibe to this gorgeously illustrated, raw, heartfelt, millennial love letter of sorts but not quite. The entire relationship is sweet and casual, flirtatious but non-committal, close but never really intimate – because, hey, that would be awkward.

Awww, an adorable ode to platonic friendship. Friendship is just as important as romantic love, and I love that this little book acknowledges that. Sweet.

This is the cutest comic. A reminder that platonic love is every bit as important and longed for as romantic love. Have we not all felt this way?

Cinfhen Perfect 👌🏽 6y

This was a little generic in some senses for me, but it was also quite touching and visually appealing. Sort of like if Miranda July toned down her oddities and wrote a graphic novel.

UrsulaMonarch Sounds good to me! 7y

The CUTEST little quick read! The graphics are fairly simply, but the order of them add to the feelings portrayed in the story! It is light and then a little lonely, but there is always a feeling of hope and love. It takes less than 10 minutes to read and I really just want to give it to all of my friends who I am in friend-love with because it reminded me of them and hit friendship on the nose for me!

Both lists had a graphic novel/comic type book requirement. A very sweet fast read.
