Satoko and Nada

Satoko and Nada

A wonderful story about a Japanese girl attending an American University who learns about Muslim and Saudia Arabia culture through her roommate.

This is a fantastic series that is originally a web manga. It’s presented in a yonkoma or 4-panel style so each page has it’s own episode and punchline. Because the target audience is Japanese, this book is a pretty simple beginner’s course in Muslim religion and culture.

I thought is was heartfelt and wonderful. It’s available from Sevens Seas Entertainment!
