The Guys She Was Interested In Wasnt A Guy At All by mangaka Sumiko Arai, also known as TGSWIIWAGAA, also known as that Green Lesbian Manga (whole lotta of names...) is a modern-day romance series that deliberately breaks the traditions we consistently see in the world of Manga.
From every page being margined as if it were a rock magazine, to extensive use of a third color, to the excessive inclusion of real-world music into the narrative, as well as many more unique and individual narrative hooks.
In this video essay I aim to unpack what it is exactly that makes this manga so compelling and look into how it truly is The Manga That Dares To Be Different.
For a series with such a simple name and premise, what you actually receive is one of the most beautiful, expressive and most human stories I have heard in a while.
Whether you're a sucker for anything sapphic. Whether you're looking for a new weekly and short manga to bring a bit of spark to your week. Whether you're looking for something you've never quite seen in manga, I can assure you The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy At All will have you covered.
