Features: Jimi ignites the global romance trend once again! With exquisite and delicate illustrations and sharp, satirical text, he strikes the hearts of you, us, and them, capturing the sweet and sour love gradually growing within. All children know that whenever the midnight bell rings, the carousel in the amusement park begins to buzz and play in the starry sky. They dance around in circles to the mysterious melody, soaring up and down, chasing each other until the sky gradually brightens and they slowly, slowly come to a stop. The children say it's because they're in love.
However, You, We, They takes a skeptical approach to love. Although the characters in the book are paired off, Jimi introduces contradictions within the symmetry. Thus, the lyrical Jimi disappears, and small, sweet love is merely sprinkled throughout as decoration. The sharp, satirical text and incisive viewpoints—such as the scene of lovers spitting fire into the sky, or couples facing each other yet unable to make eye contact—make the reader pause and reflect. This is a love-themed graphic novel that blends the bittersweet flavors of life.
