I love graphic memoirs and this one was really good. It's an educational read but also a powerful personal story. I didn't know much about internment, possibly because I'm British, so I learnt a lot. It was heartbreaking to read how Takei experienced these traumatic things as a child and how his parents tried to protect him by portraying it as an adventure.
