Oh, this one is great. Hopefully it'll be continued translation wise

Really nice Manga, but man..... that main character is probably the dullest looking thing ever drawn.

Love this manga. I’ve been looking for manga based more on the arts or any activity based and this was really good!

Although I have some problems with the authours depiction of a “returnee” character, one that has experienced life out side of their home country, especially Canada.

His plain looks and mild temperament is fine and all, but he’s sooo thoroughly Japanese, like He’s such a stereotypical japanese.

I’m not a “returnee” but am an Asian that was born and raised in Britain. So I understand this.

Of course Asians raised elsewhere will all have different characters etc.
But you will still take in certain manners, mindset, culture, and common sense from both countries, especially if you grew up in it sincerely your were a child.

And if he really has lived there for so long since he was a child, there should be a sense of having two Homelands. In that sense he’s not really a “foreign japanese in Canada” but rather a “Canadian-Japanese citizen”.

This character is plain, and that’s fine, but the authour couldn’t present the mixed culture image, a person who lived in two worlds, would have.
At at the very least, I feel that he or she, has not even tried.

You are indeed in the right place. ✨

After reading the manga you can watch the next videos about basic Japanese calligraphy and you can also see where Kawai Katsutoshi got the idea for the name of the series. 🖌️

I'm loving the manga and the "secondary" characters.

The most unrealistic thing about this manga is that even though the guy spent 8 years in Canada there isn't any mention of:
Hockey
Poutine
Tim Hortons
Shitting on Toronto
Potatoes (a non potato obsessed Prince Edwardian is like a sober Irish man)

0/10 mooses, wouldn't 'eh'

This character is plain, and that’s fine, but the authour couldn’t present the mixed culture image, a person who lived in two worlds, would have.
At at the very least, I feel that he or she, has not even tried.

Japanese don't do multiculturalism, the very idea is anathema to them. It melts their brains like battery acid.
