I absolutely love all the food and culture in the book. I love the use of all the different accents. I had to reread certain scenes/chapters to fully understand what was happening.ĭespite that, I found the graphic novel to be heartwarming and funny. While the story dives into the past and current lives of Nao, Hychean, and Tina, I sometimes found it confusing with the flashbacks and dreams and the mixing of the different stories. I think color would have brought the illustrations to life more. While I like the artwork and found many parts hilarious, I wish the art was in color. It’s in black and white and the illustrations are very manga-like. Will living in Japan help Nao find herself and her family’s heritage? She moves into Himawari House with housemates Hyechan from Korea, Tina from Singapore, and Shinichi and Masaki both from Japan. Nao, a Japanese American, moves to Tokyo to study for a year to try to learn about her Japanese heritage.
