Synopsis

When Misako comes to the U.S. as an exchange student from Japan, she is overwhelmed by all the differences--the people, the culture, the indigestion!  But with the help of her kind host family and their daughter Natalie, she quickly acclimates to her American high school.  

Then one night, Natalie brings her to see a band and Misako meets Zak, the lead singer.  Suddenly Misako's world is turned upside down.  Zak is gorgeous and his songs rock Misako to the core.  She falls for him hard, but Zak is a girl magnet and much too flirtatious to trust as a boyfriend.  So Misako suppresses her feelings and becomes his friend instead.  But then Zak starts to give Misako mixed signals.  Should she risk their friendship to tell him how she feels?  Or will she end up hurting everyone she cares about?  

Based on the author's own experience, this is an exuberant and funny tale of all the ups and downs of first love.

She moved to New York in 2001 and worked as a a puppeteer, face painter, animal balloon maker, and art teacher while still developing her own work. Her first break came when the Onion decided to use her illustrations for their now famous “Savage Love” column, which runs every week. Shortly thereafter, Misako scored a two-book deal with Hyperion, a three-book deal with Henry Holt and a writing gig for Archie comics. Misako has been featured in many magazines and newspapers, including Elle Girl and the New York Times. The BBC, NHK and TV Asahi also featured her in a documentary about her comic book life. Recently, Misako was chosen as one of Nikkei Woman Magazine’s 15 Women of the year. Misako currently lives in Brooklyn, New York and spends her free time riding her vintage bike, making hip hop, kissing babies, shaking hands, slam dunking and eating lots of Onigiri !!!
