Miki Falls- Spring
Teen Graphic Novels- Main Level- M
Miki starts her senior year of high school determined to be better, kinder, smarter, more herself. So when the cute new boy, Hiro, puts up a standoffish front, Miki vows to make friends anyway. Eventually her cheeriness wears him down, and he confesses to her that he is no ordinary high school boy, but one with a super-special magical secret job!
The tricky bit is, Hiro wasn’t supposed to tell anyone. Not only is his status a secret, but the rules of his trade prevent his falling in love with an ordinary person like Miki. But gosh, she sure is cute. And the whole star-crossed lover thing is pretty appealing. Thus, Hiro and Miki find themselves in a mess of trouble.
Spring is the first in a four volume series of comics by Mark Crilley, an artist who splits his time between Southeast Michigan and Japan. Although his characters are drawn in a Japanese manga style, the books do read front to back and left to right. Stay tuned- Mark will be coming to the library in April!
