In this graphic novel, a twenty-eight year-old artist, illustrator, and fan of "ichi," which, from the context I'm assuming means "feminine fashion for the vibrant, sensual and sophisticated city girl" and not facial scarring traditionally used by the Igbo people of West Africa" though it might refer to one of several Japanese films. If ichi was defined in the book, I missed it. Oh, well. Nao Brown, daughter of an English mother, and an alcoholic Japanese father, suffers from a sometimes crippling OCD. She spends a fair amount of time locked in bathrooms, trying to convince herself that she is a good person, and not capable of committing the horrible acts she imagines. She meets a man in London, sabotages her roomates washing machine in order to meet him and they attempt to make a go of it. They are both damaged individuals and have to overcome a lot of personal issues along the way. An interesting read with bold, clear art.Check our catalog.
