Sora's world changes forever when he meets Mr. His best friend and childhood confidant is Nao, a young woman whom everyone thinks is (or should be) his girlfriend and it would be the easiest thing to play along-she knows he is gay but knows, too, how hard it is to live one's truth in their situation. He wants to live honestly as a young gay man in high school, but that is still not acceptable in Japanese society. Our Colors by Gengoroh Tagame Anne Ishii (Translator) A mesmerizing coming-of-age and coming-out graphic novel by the genius writer-artist of the Eisner Award-winning breakout hit My Brother's Husband Set in contemporary suburban Japan, Our Colors is the story of Sora Itoda: a sixteen-year-old aspiring painter who experiences his world in synesthetic hues of blues and reds, governed by the emotional turbulence of being a teenager. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tia Ruby-she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair. But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable", "good hair". Marlene loves three things: books, her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. Ortega and star debut artist Rose Bousamra's Frizzy is about Marlene, a young Dominican girl whose greatest enemy is the hair salon! Through her struggles and triumphs, this heartwarming and gorgeous middle-grade graphic novel shows the radical power of accepting yourself as you are, frizzy curls and all.
