Review
"Beautiful and thought-provoking; questions unanswered will dawdle in readers' minds."--Kirkus "Inzana uses apart visible styles via a book to prove a tellurian world, a devout world, and a common past that resonates by them both. While a movement is during times chaotic, it is never confusing. The fad and power kept me branch a pages, any one some-more sparkling than a next. we was perplexed by Ichiro from a initial page. It kept me guessing and presented me with some-more ideas and party than we had likely would come from this book. Make certain we get yourself a copy!"--Stumptown Trade Review "The fluid, fluent brushwork brings a streets of New York City and fabulous Japanese creatures to life, permitting a fantastical aspects to be both pleasing and vividly creepy."--Horn Book "Ichiro is a refreshingly honest, well-conceived account that is certain to delight, perform and maybe teach readers both immature and old. Ryan Inzana remarkably integrates a formidable duration in story with difficult mythologies and undying amicable issues into an beguiling anticipation adventure. His pleasing black-and-white brushwork is enviable in a fluidity and expressiveness. Whether he's rebellious a proposal impulse between a singular mom and her apart son during a cooking list or illustrating visionary battles between gods, his used skills gleam by with a ideal tone."--Rations Magazine "This is a striking novel that explores a Asian American knowledge by consistent modern, ancient, and illusory elements."--School Library Journal "Beautiful, full-color art abounds in a folkloric scenes, that neatly contrariety with a black-and-white and spasmodic sepia-toned existence of Ichiro’s day-to-day activities, in that dashes of splendid tone punctuate a action. Inzana brings home another absolute post-9/11 fable, destined this time to a younger assembly than he targeted with Johnny Jihad (2003). Ichiro asks a tough questions for readers though hurdles them to arrive during their possess conclusion.."--Booklist "Inzana mixes a poser with a impersonal in his sharp-witted artwork, formulating a mood of note via and charity an discernment into Japanese enlightenment with a limit of imagination."--Publishers Weekly

Lovely book that we common with my nephews, who unequivocally got into it. Hard to find stories these days that will get them meddlesome in reading...and a gorgeous, colorful illustrations were only a thing to constraint their attention!
Ichiro opens with an aged Japanese fable about a tanuki, a raccoon that can shapeshift and mostly takes a form of a teapot. The tanuki forms a support story for Ichiro, and it is also comical and magical.
What Ichiro is unequivocally about is Ichiro, a immature child who idolizes his father. He wears his dads aged sunglasses and constantly reads an aged troops book of his dad's that he found. Because he misses his dad, who he hardly remembers, he romanticizes fight and is wearied by many all else. He gets sucked into a area of a gods, given of that wily tanuki and gets a doctrine in fight and humanity.
The drawings are unequivocally cool, nonetheless we wish we had been means to review a finished version, given a digital galleys only don't utterly have a peculiarity of a printed striking novel. The best partial of a design was really a color. Inzana clearly has a aptitude for it; we adore a contrasts between scenes in shades of grey, scenes with only one tone popping brightly and scenes only ripping with color.
Overall, we did like this, though a scenes in a land of a gods were really a bit reduction appealing from a tract indicate of view.
