Thank you to Netgalley and Humanoid Inc for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Hanami is an autobio comic about the author and her partner's experience living and travelling to Japan. The art style is one of the most interesting parts of this book with the colors and the way the artist draws expressions. At the end she notes different comics that she drew inspiration from for certain "chapters" and I def see the influences from those Japanese comics.
This book is def. a "I need something light and fun" read. Its not super serious and great to pick up between tasks or when you have a free moment. I wouldn't say there is necessarily a large theme to this book, mainly "be open to trying new things" I feel.
Overall I really enjoyed this comic and would def read another story by this author.
