And yet relatively recent manga sensation Wayama \u2013 her three titles published in her native Japan have each won major lauds \u2013 manages to charmingly defuse some of the most potentially volatile situations, with captivating protagonists and expressive artistry.<\/p>\n<p>The first half of her stateside debut, smoothly translated by Leighann Harvey, belongs to Hayashi, who\u2019s chosen by a classmate as \u201csomeone cute\u201d during a field day scavenger hunt: the label sticks and rightfully so. He\u2019s always his own self, finding satisfaction in regularly \u201cdoing something meaningless\u201d because he can. He\u2019s also an artist, works in his family\u2019s Chinese restaurant, reads extensively, is kind to strangers, and surreptitiously distracts bullies.<\/p>\n<p>The second half stars an entertainingly mismatched duo: classmates Nikaidou and Medaka, the former a social pariah believed to have supernatural powers, and the latter determined to \u2013 if not befriend \u2013 then at least interact. Medaka\u2019s mention of manga horror legend Junji Ito proves to be an ideal connector. Wayama\u2019s self-insertion at book\u2019s end of a burdensome middle-school memory adds bittersweet resonance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.booklistonline.com\/Captivated-by-You-\/pid=9751398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u201cGraphic Novels,\u201d <em>Booklist<\/em>, July 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Young Adult<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2019 (Japan), 2021 (United States)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adolescent challenges are a ubiquitous rite of passage from which no child seems immune.
