I loved this and I loved their friendships and I really enjoyed how each individual got their own storyline and issues that they were working through. I thought it was going to be mainly about one character but came to care about them all and the relationships they shared and how that helped them in a strange place to find themselves.

Main problem: characters are drawn SO similarly that I had a hard time telling the difference between them?

This was the absolute coolest graphic novel I have ever read. As someone who has studied abroad in Japan, it was stunning to see how the linguistics were written / illustrated into this story; between the blurring, multi-language writing, and especially the writing of each character's accent really blew me away. On top of all of this, the story is just amazing, and I fell in love with each and every character. I was a big fan of Terrace House a few years back, and this gave me very similar vibes, but with much less dating drama and more personal reflection. I can't recommend this highly enough, I have loved everything I read from :01 First Second, but this is by far my favorite.
