It makes me happy that there is someone who writes and draws stories about Asian Americans and tackles straight-on some of the most difficult feelings and issues Asian Americans face. Shortcomings, which comprises issues 8-11 of Tomine's zine Optic Nerve, is hilarious at times, made me cringe at others, and raises more questions than it answers. It is absolutely awesome that he has voiced these conflicts and left them for us to consider.
