Roaming [graphic novel] / JillianTamaki and Mariko Tamaki.

Tamaki, Jillian, 1980- (author,, illustrator.). Tamaki, Mariko, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

Spring break, 2009. Five days, three friends, and one big city. Over the course of a much-anticipated trip to New York, an unexpected fling blossoms between casual acquaintances and throws a long-term friendship off-balance. Emotional tensions vibrate wildly against the resplendently illustrated backdrop of the city, capturing a spontaneous queer romance in all of its fledgling glory. Slick attention to the details of a bustling, intimidating metropolis are softened with a palette of muted pastels, as though seen through the eyes of first-time travelers. The awe, wonder, and occasional stumble along the way come to life with stunning accuracy.
