Kameoka Diaries #2

January 13th, 2012 · 13 Comments

(If you haven’t seen it yet, part one can be found here.)

The e-books in the previous installment didn’t get too many downloads, so I think I’ll skip making those for the time being. Though if people want them lemme know, and if enough people do I’ll put them up. Otherwise maybe once I have a bunch done I could package them as one big e-book and sell that on iBooks for 99 cents or something. We’ll see!

Anyway, without further adieu, here’s the second installment:

    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.

    This is amazing and so accurate! Aww… I miss all the Kameoka folks. :D

    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
