A note for parents

Boxers is a graphic novel about the Boxer Rebellion in early-1900s China, told from the perspective of a young man caught between traditional Chinese spirituality and Christian missionary influence. The book contains significant historical violence, war scenes, and spiritual/supernatural elements that create a mature tone appropriate for older teens. While it offers strong educational value about this pivotal historical period and explores themes of cultural identity and resistance, the violent content and complex themes require maturity to process.
