Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Empire State: A Love Story (Or Not) is a 2011 graphic novel written and drawn by Jason Shiga (with colors by John Pham). In contrast with Shiga's prior high-concept or puzzle-driven comics, this is a semi-autobiographical, character-driven story.Jimmy Yee is a geek working in the Oakland branch library. He's in a rut, but he's not in any particular hurry to get out of it, either. At least, not until Sara, his best friend and first crush, leaves Oakland for greener pastures—an apartment in Brooklyn and an internship with a publisher. Jimmy becomes lonely, and then desperate—enough to confess his feelings to Sara via a letter and then buy a bus ticket to New York.From there, nothing goes as Jimmy expects. | |

Race for Your Love | |
| Empire State (Comic Book) / int_66805a18 | comment |
The aforementioned Race for Your Love scene ends with Jimmy phoning Sara and discovering that she never received his letter, and thus has no idea that he's in New York City. | |

| Empire State (Comic Book) / int_8aa0f76 | comment |
Deconstructed Trope: Jimmy thinks a cross-country bus trip will be just like The Incredible Hulk TV series—seeing the country and solving mysteries in small towns. The ex-con in the next seat is quick to point out that Jimmy actually signed up for a week of gas station food, terrible restrooms, and no bathing opportunities.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Empire State (Comic Book) / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The comic alternates between red and blue sections. The blue sections are mostly in chronological order, while the red sections are in no particular order other than occurring chronologically before the blue ones. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| Empire State (Comic Book) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Sara tells a horror story about a bad date she met through Craigslist. Jimmy thinks her story is inspiring—he identifies with Sara's date, and realizes he can meet attractive girls through Craigslist if he words his personal ads right. | |
