Description
This incisive graphic novel follows Ben Tanaka, a cynical Japanese American filmmaker in his thirties, as his strained relationship and unresolved insecurities propel him into an uneasy search for connection and self-understanding. Moving between California and New York, the story examines race, identity, desire, loneliness, and the contradictions of modern relationships. With spare, precise artwork and sharply observed dialogue, it offers an unsentimental yet deeply human portrait of a man confronting the limits of his own perspective.
