Akiko Shimojima

An excellent addition to any graphic novel collection and for all readers interested in nonfiction and historical works.

Wilson uses exactly the right scenes to tell this famous story, creating a quick, engaging read. Shimojima's detailed manga-style artwork lends itself well, although some of her character designs are a little difficult to tell apart. Recommended for Japanese history fans and for those who plan to see the more loosely based Hollywood film this December.
