Description
Two female friends from middle school reunite as adults in this hard-hitting and personal drama manga. What begins as idle reminiscing leads to painful revelations as they heal the reopened wounds of their past in this highly-anticipated first print release from the creator of 1122: For a Happy Marriage. Drawing on real events and the Japanese #MeToo movement and Watanabe's own reflections on friendship and womanhood, That's Not Love won a place on the industry insider poll Kono Manga ga Sugoi! as one of the best manga of the year. Akane may have destroyed the statue of the girl to protect Yukari's dignity, but the same statue was a source of solace for Midori. Meanwhile, Yukari is learning to accept her own body that she once loathed, but what exactly is she to Gen, the young man who has given her so much emotional support? Elsewhere, Mr. Imai is shocked to discover photographs of his own child put up online without his knowledge. Beniko's frustration with her husband only grows. Everyone seems to be at odds with each other over their own sense of justice. Memories from the past emerge, along with words that were never spoken. Desire lurks beneath the surface, as the knowledge of having hurt others and having been hurt gradually deals its stinging blow.'I began thinking about situations where violence might not be recognized as violence, where it might be permitted for the sake of art or because of someone’s talent, and about the hierarchies that exist between people in small, tightly-bound businesses.' –Peko WatanabeJapanese title: Koi janee kara
