Something alive is a graphic novel written by Jem Yoshioka. The main character is a young girl born in New Zealand like her mother and father, she has Japanese blood in her. Her grandmother travelled over seas to New Zealand from Japan. The girl’s accent blends in with the crowds, but she feels like a badly translated haiku. She feels frustrated when people ask or tell her things about Japan that she already knows. She feels lost in both places; Japan and New Zealand. When she feels lost, she has her family to comfort her. She also has her grandmother. Her grandmother says she is proud of her life in New Zealand.
