Diary of a Tokyo Teen: A Japanese-American Girl Travels to the Land of Trendy Fashion, High-Tech Toilets and Maid Cafes | 
pickSuch a fun art style, and it was fun seeing all of the things that the author found remarkable about her summer in Japan with her grandparents. Also loved the inclusion of photos throughout. I went Into this thinking it was going to be a narrative with a distinct story, but it was just a collection of observations which was fun too. #Japan #Tourism #TravelJournal #JournalComic
pickWhimsical graphic #memoir about a JPN-American teen returning to Tokyo for a visit for the first time since moving away when she was 10 y/o. I loved the then vs now commentary on how much her home-town had changed vs what hadn't. She chats about anxiety yet admiration for her culture. It was a great diasporic account of what it felt like to come home; how it felt overwhelming, yet very nostalgic. Great for ppl wanting to learn more about #Japan.
pickWhat a fun graphic memoir! Inzer chronicles her summer in Japan with warmth, heart, and an honest love for her grandparents' country. Her writing gets a little rough whenever she combines drawn-on-the-spot material with stuff she produced later, but that's a minor blip in something as enjoyable as this comic.
pickThis was a super cute travelogue written by a teenager, in comic form. It was on display at the library, and I couldn't help but pick it up. 🍔🍱🍩
pickI really enjoyed this graphic travelogue/diary written and illustrated by Christine Mari Inzer. Her perspective on her visit to Japan seemed unique & fun. It was interesting to read about Japan from the point-of-view of someone who was born there, left at a young age, and returned as a teenager. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Japanese culture or graphic travelogues.
pickI LOVED THIS A LOT OKAY IT IS REALLY CUTE
Okay I take that back. Those five books in last post PLUS these comics I just found hidden in another bag of mine. So five books and five comics. AND THEN I AM TOTALLY DONE WITH LIBRARY BOOKS FOR THE SUMMER. #readyourownbooks #sweartogod #justthese #idonthaveabookbuyingban #butimprettygoodaboutkeepingthatincheck #samedoesnotapplytolibrarybooks #lmao
pickA really promising debut! It was interesting because it seemed that she drew this during her travels, so it had a different feel to it than the books that are more of reflections on life's events (ie. Lucy Kinsley). I look forward to seeing future books from her!
