Eisner Nominee · Asian/Pacific American Young Adult Literature Honor

Raised by his Japanese mother, Ichiro idolizes his dead American father, and struggles to fit in. When his mother decides to visit Japan, Ichiro is left with his grandfather, in a country he doesn’t know.

Grandfather becomes Ichi’s guide, sharing Japan with him. But one night, a monster drags Ichi away—into the domain of the gods! Now, he must face his fears and learn about the nature of man, of gods, and of war. He also learns there are no easy answers—for gods or men.

Called thought-provoking, wholly original, and captivating by reviewers, Ichiro “asks hard questions for readers but challenges them to arrive at their own conclusion” (Booklist) and offers “a powerful commentary on war and peace” (Bulletin).

This new edition features a fully illustrated “making of” section that breaks down the process of creating Ichiro step by step.

 I studied Kung fu for many years in my youth—Bruce Lee has always been one of my heroes. When the opportunity to illustrate a graphic novel on his life came my way, I jumped at the chance.
Written by APALA award winning author Teresa Robeson, this book follows Bruce through the landing of his breakthrough role as Kato in The Green Hornet. The part would change the way audiences view martial arts on the screen and more importantly, break the ceiling Asian Americans faced in movies and television.
