Himawari House is a place where young people from all over the world converge in Japan to pursue their own path. The main character, Hyachen, although ethnically Japanese, was raised in the United States and has returned perhaps to discover a bit more about who she is and try to find out what destiny holds for her. At Himawari house, she meets a group of people who have come there for a variety of reasons, and all forge a relationship with each other. Highly recommended.

Excuse me while I go and bawl my eyes out (in a good, bittersweet way) ;_;

Very confusing to read through as it is a book that has a variety of accents (Japanese, Korean and English). A bit hard to keep up with the chapters since each chapter was different. The chapters revolved around the different characters and their perspectives. Loved the graphics and how it discussed the complexities of being a second generation individual. For example, not being “Japanese enough” because they were raised in the U.S.
