It's the end of Ellie's senior year, and as though final exams aren't enough to worry about, she's been placed in a compromising position by one of her bosses at a comic book company. Is quitting her only option?
J.T. turns to the Internet to help cope with the recent troubles in his life. But now he spends most of his time locked in his room, and he can't seem to move on. Is his new habit just making his problems worse?

Customer Reviews
Great To Read Between Episodes!
I've never read a graphic novel before, but as a devoted Degrassi fan, I knew I had to get this book, especially since I love Ellie, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The book is just like an episode (and that's about how long it takes to read it), but it takes place between episodes and gives you storylines you've never seen on the shows. They use lines and events from the show to let you know where and when in the storylines that these take place. Sometimes it's hard to tell the order of the dialogue, but maybe it's just me since I don't usually read graphic novels.
In short: if you're a Degrassi fan that can't seem to get enough of the show...this book is for you!
amazing
i wasn't sure about how the characters would be protrayed in graphic novels but, turns out that some of the storylines are right in the book. amazing art work by both author and artist. great book. definitely recommend for any degrassi fan.
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
TURNING JAPANESE is about the kids at Degrassi High School and their personal lives. Just your basic, average teenagers. They don't have super powers and they aren't geniuses.
Ellie has a job at a comic book store and her boss is highly inappropriate with her. J.T. turns to some not-so-great things on the Internet to relieve the stress of his girlfriend (maybe it was his ex; I never did figure that out) giving their baby up for adoption.
I felt like I was thrown into a story that gave me almost no background on what was going on and was kind of hard to understand. But if you like manga, or stories based on the Degrassi characters in particular, this is definitely the book for you!
**An added note from "The Genius:" If you're a follower of Degrassi The Next Generation - Season 1, you'll be able to follow the plot of TURNING JAPANESE quite easily. For those unfamiliar with the show and its plot, however, this probably isn't the best place to learn about the characters. I highly recommend Degrassi, though, so start from the beginning!
