"You Can't Live All On Your Own! engages with some prescient contemporary issues through the lens of slice-of-life comedy [and] it's the social factors of sexism and ageism that really loom large as the antagonist of the series. [...] With all those heavy themes, it might surprise you when I describe this first volume as "fun." [...] While it touches on some heavy themes like misogyny and ageism, You Can't Live All On Your Own! keeps its tone light, and the story addresses these issues through the lens of relatable comedy and upbeat slice-of-life antics." - Alex Henderson, Yatta Tachi
"This borderline slice-of-life story tackles many fears and dilemmas of young adults trying to figure it all out. [...] This title succeeds in creating four distinct female characters with their own unique voicing in addition to their personal struggles and situations they've been placed in. [...] Tsuno's illustrations are unique. There are lots of simple, clean lines with sparse and effective use of shading and screen tones. Characters are extremely expressive..." - Sara Smith, The Graphic Library
