I can see why this is not as popular as Gendry-Kim's Grass and The Waiting, because it is not a powerful, heart-wrenching dive into history, but a biography of Kim Jong Un. It's still good, but serves a different purpose.

It is supposed to be informative, tell the story of Kim Jong Un's life and look at recent relations between North Korea, South Korea, and the U.S. I certainly learned a lot about the North Korean leader that I did not know before, and Gendry-Kim managed to convey the reasons why some citizens felt hope when he rose to power.

The artwork is good as always, but here it features a lot of characters having conversations rather than experiencing dramatic action or emotional turmoil. On the one hand, this is a fast and accessible way to portray information that might have otherwise been dry. On the other, it does seem slightly pointless at times when it is just two people sat together conversing about the history. Luckily, I am very interested in history and policy, so it kept my attention.

Its a realy nice graphic novel explaining the situation in Korea(both North and South),how the people living in Korea experience it,the history and especially the modern history of North Korea. Simple illustration but very impactful for the story. Is one of the great graphic novels that it keeps you in interest and also has a very interesting and catchy title. If you want to know about Korea,the political status and the stories about it,is a great graphic novel that explains that and even more.

Good graphic novel explaining North and South Korea and the politics behind it in a easy manner. Best to read it in physocal form in kindle is very hard to follow.
