Description

Blurb:
It’s election year 2000 in this graphic novel, and third-generation Japanese-American senator Kenneth Yamaoka has just made the stunning announcement only a month before the New Hampshire primary that he will run for president of the US. Meanwhile, in Japan, handsome young reporter Takashi Jo loses his mother to an accidental gas leak. His mother’s death also seems to end Takashi’s chances of finding out more about his father, an unknown American serviceman whose identity his mother refused to divulge. Before he has time to come to grips with his grief, Takashi receives an unexpected prize assignment to cover Yamaoka’s presidential campaign at the senator’s staff’s request. Takashi is soon to discover the identity of his very powerful father.
Klappentext:
Takashi Jo arbeitet als kleiner Reporter bei einer großen Zeitung in Tokio. Umso erstaunlicher, dass er eines Tages in die USA eingeladen wird. Er soll den Präsidentschaftswahlkampf des Senators Kenneth Yamaoka als Beobachter begleiten. Eine Nebensache, die Takashi erst langsam klar wird: Yamaoka ist eigentlich sein Vater! Was folgt ist ein intensiver Blick hinter die Kulissen amerikanischer Realpolitik. Ein Wahlkampf zwischen Freundschaft und Intrige, zwischen knallhartem Nachrichtengeschäft und persönlichen Verletzungen.
Texto de presentación:
Eagle es una inteligentísima novela gráfica de ficción política que se ha comparado con la aclamada serie de televisión “El ala Oeste de la Casa Blanca”. Su protagonista, Kenneth Yamaoka, un senador asiático-americano que decide participar en la carrera presidencial por el Partido Demócrata en las elecciones de 2000 en Estados Unidos, guarda un asombroso parecido con Barack Obama. Un manga apasionante cargado de intriga política, ambición y oscuros secretos familiares que atrapa desde la primera página.
