This is really cute! I’m not a huge fan of graphic novels but I enjoyed reading this, especially because it had so many languages and accents attributed to diverse and well rounded characters. Slice of life is one of my favorite genres so I was happy to explore life with these characters as they navigated something foreign to them. It was also interesting to get perspectives from international students, since I will be in a similar place in a few months!
Une histoire touchante, de 3 jeunes femmes en quête de sens dans leur vies. Chacune avec ses propres difficultés. Chacune vient d'ailleurs et elles se retrouvent dans cette maison en colocation, une belle histoire d'amitié aussi. Ça parle aussi des difficultés à s'intégrer, des problèmes de diaspora, de se trouver quand on a l'impression de devoir être ce que nos parents attendent de nous...
Le dessin est doux, les thèmes sont abordés avec beaucoup de douceur aussi et de bienveillance. Le tout en langues multiples. C'était vraiment bien. Comme si j'y étais !

Una mujer medio japonesa, medio estadounidense, una mujer coreana y una mujer singapurense se juntan en una casita japonesa para estudiar en la universidad. Cada una tiene su propia historia y su pasado.
Me ha gustado mucho este cómic, un silce of life sobre las diferencias culturales, la conexión y crear tu propia familia. Aunque el final no me ha terminado de convencer.

It's somehow relaxing to read about a group of foreigners finding themselves while being lost in the language and culture of Japan.
A beautifully drawn story of a young woman spending a year in Japan to reconnect with her birth country and all the things about herself she hid while growing up in the US. She stays at a share house with some others, and becomes good friends with two of the other girls, one from Korea, the other from Singapore, who are in Japan for their own reasons, but all three young women are trying to find out who they are and what’s important to them.
I loved the friendship, the artwork, all the food, and the tone of this whole story.
