This graphic novel is an everyday look about a group of international people who live together in Tokyo, Japan. Our main character is coming from America. She was born in Japan but immigrated to the US as a child. While in the US, she purposely forgot her language and culture, so she could assimilate into American society. However, upon graduating high school, she realizes that she lost her heritage and is seeking to find it again with a gap year in Tokyo. Also in the house is a girl who is coming from Korea, one who is coming from Singapore, and two boys. They are all there to learn not only Japanese but English and other things.  They each have different goals such as getting a job or getting into universities, and some don’t know what they want. All they know is they are in this house together and making the best of life. Overall, this book was long and kind of boring. It’s a character study. The art is well done, but it’s not the type of story that I enjoy. It fills a gap in my reading challenges, and it did just win the Kirkus book award for best YA book of 2022.
