Himawari House by Harmony Becker

4.0

---

was initially thrown by the lack of a linear/singular narrative but quickly grew to really appreciate it! this felt a lot like some of my favorite slice of life japanese manga while embracing all the multicultural beauty and diasporic joy i love to see in american media. made me cry with the reflections on parental love :') smth especially hard hitting about capturing that feeling of fleeting happiness and enjoying it for what it is as strongly as you can in the moment... also just trying to figure out your life in your early 20's <3
