A fantastic graphic novel that was just WOW. I am a big fan of George Takei and so I was delighted that one of my libraries had his graphic novel in stock! I have been meaning to read the book for ages. In this book we read about George and his family, and other Japanese/Japanese-American people, in the internment camps. The decisions that were made in the government after Pearl Harbour. I already knew quite a bit about things.. but I learned some new things. Plus, again, while I knew, I was still shocked at how so much parallels what was happening there to Europe. Without deaths and genocide, but the whole first there are places one cannot come, then jobs, then houses, then moving to the camps, how hard it was to get back later, and more. Hope I wrote that down right, I am always worried about those things as the internet is a harsh place.
It was very interesting to read and while it was a bit confusing at times, I did like that we sometimes switches to later times.
The art was really well done.
I would highly recommend this book. Be sure to bring tissues.

Highly recommended memoir about living in internment, with a direct parallel to people living in cages due to the Trump administration's cruel policies. This is an excellent, sharp, and beautifully drawn memoir. A must read.

Amazing story told by an incredible man. It was disappointing to see so many parallels between the United States’ shameful (not so distant) past and current times.

A look into an often ignored aspect of American history that I hope gets more light shone on it. It was sobering to read about but is still important to know.
