Tsunami Girl is a powerful coming-of-age story of 15-year-old Yuki Hara Jones who gets caught up in the March 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. It’s about a young person trying to work out who they are, and where they fit - and trying to do this whilst surviving the trauma of a triple disaster of colossal scale, told through both prose and manga.

It's really well written and the main character is engaging, but the side characters seem sort of forgotten and I felt the end came very suddenly without showing us what actually happened as a result of her running away. It's a very "and then everything was fine" ending, but I wanted something more I think. It was good, but yea, the story was a bit meh sometimes.
