"12 Reasons Why I Love Her" is a graphic novel by writer Jamie S. Rich and artist Joelle Jones, published in 2006 by Oni Press.

It falls into the Romantic Comedy genre, with some Drama sprinkles here and there, telling a pretty well crafted Boy Meets Girl story, through non-linear narrative. It consists of 12 individual chapters, each of which shows the couple in a different point in their relationship, while also providing a song to accompany it.

It's really well written, beautifully drawn and, judging by his own experiences, this Troper believes that it's a pretty realistic depiction of human relationships. To me, it reads like the sequential art equivalent of Five Hundred Days Of Summer.

I love it and I highly recommend it to all of you. Plus, anyone who's ever read it is welcome to post stuff in this here newborn thread! :D

Cheers!

Well, hello there! Have you by any chance read the comic?

Tropers don't tend to gravitate toward romance, and the comic section is not terribly active to begin with. I heard it was out of stock but I glimpsed it before. The guy reminds me of Robert Irvine.

[up] Yeah, I noticed... Its just that, publishers such as Oni Press and the, now defunct DC imprint, Minx, have lots of great books out. Sadly, even today, that we're in two thousand and friggin' twelve, when you say "comics", people respond with something along the lines of: "Like, Mickey Mouse?".

I figured, hey, since its a good book and a worthy representative of the medium, why not pimp it out a little? Looks like you and I are the only people on here who know about it though, so that's that... Anyway, I still love it.

Oni Press, they're the same guys who publish Brian Lee O'Malley's stuff (Scott Pilgrim, Lost At Sea), right?
