Review Quotes




Alex Award Nominee 2024

"Many young readers will see their struggles in Mieri and relate to her journey, regardless of the types of people to whom they find themselves attracted." -School Library Journal

"Mieri Hiranishi's charming, expressive cartooning brings brilliant life to this earnest and sharply hilarious story about hope, heartbreak, and healing! I couldn't put it down!" -Carey Pietsch, co-adapter and artist, The Adventure Zone


"The Girl That Can't Get a Girlfriend strikes the precarious balance between being universally understandable and being unquestionably unique in its perspective." -AnimeCorner

"Comedic and at many points bittersweet, this manga dives into why loving oneself is essential. Hiranishi's honest examination of her past relationships and how she eventually pulled herself out of heartbreak's grasp make for a truly compelling read." -Booklist

"Every blue moon, a book or film or show comes out that a wide swath of people can grasp and say, "That's me. I feel this." I deeply believe we have found the 2023 version of that in The Girl That Can't Get A Girlfriend." -The Mary Sue

"The book has impeccable pacing and is engaging from start to finish. The humorous art enhances the narrative in a meaningful way, especially in portraying Mieri's own emotional journey. A delightful exploration of navigating the bumpy road to adulthood." -Kirkus Reviews

"This is a charming and heartfelt first-person account of love, heartbreak, and discovering what it means to be happy."-BookRiot

"This slice-of-life manga provides a bittersweet lens as readers experience her "character" arc and the growth that comes with experience and aging. The Girl That Can't Get a Girlfriend provides stories of personal embarrassment and youthful mistakes, which will be relatable to manga fans who have similarly struggled to find someone special they can be themselves and feel safe with." -Screenrant
