From bestselling author Gene Luen Yang comes the award-winning graphic novel that redefined the medium. Original Series Now Available on Disney+

Jin Wang just wants to fit in.

But fitting in isn't simple when you feel caught between worlds.

Told through three interwoven stories, this groundbreaking graphic novel follows Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny's life with his yearly visits.

Jin is ultimately forced to confront questions about culture, belonging, and self-acceptance in a way that's both funny, painful, and deeply human.
