In 2004, Chenda travels to Japan for the first time, where she falls in love with both Frédéric and the country itself. However, her experience turns into a bureaucratic nightmare due to Japan's strict and often absurd immigration policies. Through this graphic novel, author Aurélia Aurita narrates with sensitivity and honesty the obstacles she faces while trying to settle in her new adopted country, offering a broader reflection on how nations treat foreigners with suspicion and arbitrariness.
This work is a personal and moving testimony that explores the difficulties of living abroad, cultural shock, and the struggle against dehumanizing administrative systems. With a unique visual style, Aurita captures the frustration and hope of a story that resonates with anyone who has tried to find their place in a world that sometimes seems closed to others.
