About this book

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.The romance between a 14-year-old girl and her teacher. A memory from 26 years ago, rudely awakened by a sculpture of the girl. Devastated to see the image of her body used and publicly displayed without her consent, Yukari requests to have the sculpture taken down, only to be met with refusal. Will Mr. Imai realize the gravity of his actions? Will Yukari's plea reach his ears? How much can Akane do for Yukari as a friend? What should be allowed for the sake of "art"?"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
