Just So Happens di Fumio Obata
Simple graphic novel about Japanese-born Londoner who returns home for her father's funeral. A moving story and culturally interesting, describing the Japanese funeral rituals. I particularly liked the perspectives of the drawings - often looking down on a crowd of individuals.

OWL Muggle Studies - Book from the perspective of a Muggle (contemporary)
I read this while my partner was listening to metal songs in Hindi, Turkish, Japanese and Maori (?) Somehow it felt very fitting to this story.
***AFTER THE FIRST TIME READING***
I bought this as a birthday present to myself (not because the salesperson was so enthusiastic about it). Then I forgot about it because I do that sometimes when I don't immediately read something.
I'm glad I did.
This... was a quiet story. Not much happens but that was its power.
I have the tendency to forget things. To get distracted with other stuff. I also did while reading this. But the emotion it created had such an impact on me. It wasn't a bad thing I got distracted because I would remember. I would feel.
Like I said it's a quiet story. Not much happens except for the emotions of one person. The art style helps with that. I don't have any training in the arts so I don't know what's it called. But it's beautiful. It felt like I was in Japan and London. Even the part about Noh theatre. I know nothing about it but for a vague memory of a documentary I once saw (?). Few tones of a instrument I don't know.
I did have some questions but... in the end they don't matter because I loved it. A story I will enjoy in the years to come.… (altro)

Jonesy_now | 12 altre recensioni | Sep 24, 2021 | I liked this story and didn't necessarily find anything wrong with it...I think I just wanted more. The Noh theater metaphor was really interesting. I feel like if Yumiko had spent just slightly longer back home, I would have gotten a better grasp of her story and the depth of her emotions. Still--beautiful art and an interesting homecoming (of sorts) story.

LibroLindsay | 12 altre recensioni | Jun 18, 2021 | I read this graphic novel on a rainy afternoon on a tram packed with people. I credit this book for allowing me to completely disappear, I almost missed my stop! Worth checking out.
