Miki Falls

Miki Yoshida is starting her senior year of school dedicated to being a different Miki.  A more adventurous, daring Miki.  So when newcomer Hiro Sakurai moves to Fukuyama Miki is determined to learn more about this handsome stranger.  Hiro guards his secrets well, but Miki is persistent and it’s only a matter of time before she learns more than she wanted to know. 

Mark Crilley does an amazing job at not only bringing Miki and Hiro to life on the pages of the books, but bringing Japan to life as well.  The story is so unexpected, yet so Japanese it’s hard to believe that Crilley isn’t.  His artistry is clean and unencumbered and his storytelling is genius.  I tore my way through the four books and now I’m a true fan!
