I loathe and detest most "modern fiction" - you know, the kind of crap where nothing really happens, only there's some kind of epiphany at the unclear "end". This is pretty much one of those books.
Every story centers around a dull, average-looking hipster whose observations about life are as annoying as whatever guy/girl he/she has a thing for. I'm a pretty peaceful person, but if I could beat each one of these characters to a living pulp, I would

I think I'm just not in the mood for unhappy comics. It was alright- just nothing I would read again or recommend.

Tomine writes the same way Todd Solondz directs and that is absolutely a compliment.

Beautifully drawn and psychologically rich book of graphic novellas. While there are tales of young male romantic woe in here, Tomine isn’t afraid to put women front and center, too, and he writes his female protagonists just as well as his more genre-typical lovesick dudes. Impressive.
