Himawari House

A gentle, slice-of-life graphic novel from First Second, Himawari House (2021–present) follows three young women—Nao, Hyejeong, and Tina—as they share a Tokyo guesthouse while navigating language barriers, cultural identity, and the quiet joys of found family. Written and illustrated by Harmony Becker, the series captures the bittersweet intimacy of living abroad, rendered in warm, expressive linework that makes every shared meal and late-night conversation feel deeply resonant. Though it begins with a single volume, its tender exploration of diaspora and belonging has already marked it as a standout in contemporary YA comics.
