Minami's Lover

Shungiku Uchida's Minami's Lover (2023–present, Fantagraphics) reimagines a classic Japanese romantic-comedy premise: a high school girl's boyfriend shrinks to just five inches tall, forcing the couple to navigate intimacy, daily life, and their relationship from a literally new perspective. Known for her boundary-pushing work in Junjō Romantica, Uchida brings her signature blend of heartfelt drama and playful absurdity to this ongoing series, which debuted with a single issue. The series stands out for its tender, often humorous exploration of love under impossible circumstances, making it a distinctive entry in Uchida's body of work.
