Just So Happens

A quiet, visually poetic graphic novel from Harry N. Abrams, Just So Happens (2015–present) is a single-issue meditation on grief, identity, and the pull of home. Drawn with delicate, watercolor-like precision by Fumio Obata, the story follows a Japanese woman living in London who returns to Tokyo after her father's death, navigating the delicate space between two cultures. Its understated, cinematic storytelling and Obata's luminous art make it a poignant, intimate work that resonates beyond its compact length.
