YA
On an extended trip to Japan with his mother, Japanese American Ichiro's mixed-race heritage makes him feel like an outsider. In this satisfying and thought-provoking graphic novel, Inzana investigates the human tools of war-mongering and propaganda by interweaving mythological and historical examples. The fluid, expressive brushwork brings both the real world and the mythical Japanese creatures to life.
