This was a great graphic novel, full of emotional and poignant moments throughout! I took my time reading this one and was nice to take it slow. This is such a relatable story for anyone who has ever felt out of place or like they didn't belong. Trapped between two different cultures and dealing with the diaspora of not knowing your homeland. I desperately want a sequel where we get to see how Nao lives her life back home, and if she ever goes back to Japan, back to the Himawari house, back to her friends.
