Praise for Sketchy 5

Praise for Is Kichijoji the Only Place too Live?

"Is Kichijoji the Only Place to Live? is an unexpected Japanese manga that feels more like a graphic novel for adults! I adored strolling through real Japanese neighborhoods with these sisters and their clients and learning a bit about how young Japanese women live... for real!"
