“Acht, neun, zehn” (Eight, nine, ten) is a graphic novel by a young, talented German comic artist called Arne Bellstorf. It was his diploma thesis and he also won an award for it. The story is about this kid Christoph. He doesn’t really get along with his mom, has to repeat his last schoolyear and is kinda lonely. It’s a really nice story and I love the drawings. If you’re into graphic novels, check it out. In German of course ;)

sitzenbleiben (irreg.) = (to) repeat a schoolyear

der Comic (-s) = comic

der Zeichner (“) = graphic artist (-s) / drawer (-s)

I love reading graphic novels / comic books. Maybe some of you do, too!

So I’d like to recommend ”Liebe schaut weg”. It was actually written by a Dutch woman, Line Hoven. She is telling a really nice story consisting of her own family memories. The language is both English and German, depending in which part of the world it takes place and the time frame includes three generations.
The drawings are black and white, but very detailed and beautiful. You should check it out!
