I am curious what your expat neighbors think of their likenesses xD

You hit the nail on the head with the idea that a laid back attitude goes a long way towards helping one thrive in Japan. I came over here on a whim as well and now it’s seven years later and I have a wife and kid…
What happened?
Looking forward to reading more.

sgl: I was a bit nervous about showing this comic to them, but they all seemed to like it, thankfully!

Ebook format! So much easier to show people when I’ve no Internet access. I really mean it, ebook formaaaaaaat.

Looking forward to more snippets. This one is particularly well done. [And thanks for the Tonoharu books.]

I love these, the Tom Cruise part particularly had me laughing out loud!
Despite the stereotype of Japanese being straight-laced duty-bound people, I too have found that being a little laid-back helps you survive.

Ha! I’m one of the few non-Americans in my ken. It’s hard sometimes when the talk revolves around things like the nuances of the midwest versus the south. Nice comic!

Part two is as good as # 1.
Please Lars put PNGs in a ZIP file, it’s much easier to read with a normal image viewer (like AcdSee) on the pc.
Anyway, it’s really amazing! ahhahah best one is “Tom Cruise”
Moving on #3 now

OCD– whoops! Thanks, I’ll fix it when I have a chance!

I have really enjoyed these. I was over teaching English in the early 90s and despite the almost 20 years that have passed I can relate to everything you write. As far as Tom Cruise it must be a Japanese thing because my students thought I looked like him, too. At least I was male and had dark hair. Thanks for doing these.
