Weeaboo - Paperback

by Alissa M. Sallah (Author)

"Weeaboo is a graphic novel snapshot of growing up, by turns playful and serious, and a celebration of friendship and fandom, imperfections and all." -- Foreword Reviews

Perfect for fans of American Born Chinese, Peepo Choo and Sacred Heart, WEEABOO is a celebration and dissection of anime fandom, small towns, and internet culture from debut artist, Alissa M. Sallah.

It's their senior year of high school and three friends are preparing for the big anime convention happening after graduation! Even though they've known each other for years, they're finding out that reality isn't like a cartoon, and that people grow up and sometimes apart. This is a story about appropriation, identity, and what it means to change.
