The Plus-One Clause is a swoon-worthy romantic graphic novel that blends witty banter, slow-burn tension, and devastatingly heartfelt moments into one unforgettable love story.
When uptight lawyer Maya creates a fake dating contract with charming artist Alex, it’s all rules, no romance.
But the longer they play pretend—through weddings, parties, awkward sleepovers, and quiet confessions—the blurrier the lines become.
Told in cinematic, anime-inspired panels across beautifully illustrated scenes, this graphic novel explores the messiness of love, fear of vulnerability, and the journey from emotional walls to real connection. From laugh-out-loud exchanges to tear-jerking monologues, Maya and Alex’s story will stay with you long after the last page.
Perfect for fans of slow burns, fake dating tropes, and emotionally rich romance with a guaranteed happy ending.
I absolutely loved reading this graphic novel, it was so inspiring when you are discouraged when it comes to finding a partner, and everything. But also love the art style and it was a fast paced read for me to be honest. 4/5 loved it but definitely anted to see their future family and them be parents 😭😭😭😭
