The Magic Fish: A Graphic Novel by Trung Le Nguyen

5.0

This was so beautiful. I loved the intertwining of the fairytales with Tiến's story. The art was absolutely, and the fairy tale sections made me nostalgic for childhood storybooks. The story was really sweet, even though it broke my heart in a few places. I liked the inclusion of the immigrant experience, Tiến coming out to his parents, and the heartbreak of bring separated by oceans, to name a few things. I loved how the stars showed when people were in love! It was so cute, and I thought that Tiến's parents were very sweet. Overall, The Magic Fish was masterfully done, and I would buy it physically and read it again. 5 stars.
