Just So Happens by Fumio Obata
In this beautifully illustrated graphic novel, a young Japanese woman named Yumiko finds herself caught between two worlds as she navigates the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging. Living in London, she is suddenly called back to Japan following the unexpected death of her father. As she grapples with her grief, Yumiko is forced to confront her past and the traditional expectations of her family, while also reflecting on her life in the bustling, diverse city she now calls home. Through evocative imagery and poignant storytelling, the narrative explores themes of loss, self-discovery, and the delicate balance between embracing one's heritage and forging an independent path.
