Side glances, confusion, murmurs, and laughter. Growing up as a mixed-race person in Japan is far from simple—a reality Kazumi Mandanda Yoneyama and her brother know all too well. Though they were raised in Japan with a Japanese mother, their Black French father makes them stand out as outsiders. Convinced they have every right to belong, they and their fellow mixed-race friends seek ways to cope and feel complete in their half-Japanese identities. In a nation as ethnically uniform as Japan, Kazumi and those like her must keep moving forward while facing daily feelings of alienation. Navigating a path full of challenges—microaggressions, misunderstandings, social missteps, and racism—they learn that self-acceptance goes far beyond simply changing one's appearance. This is a tale of hope and the quest for coexistence, meant for anyone struggling with their own sense of identity.
