Comic: Sleeping Super-Power (Part 1)
Ryosuke is like a super-human sleeper. He can fall asleep in fifteen seconds flat. Anywhere. Train, park bench, under the kotasu, sitting by a rice field - I envy his ability to sleep. The post...

Comic: Sleeping Super-Power (Part 2)
In part 1 of this comic, I talked about how Rysouke can sleep. Anywhere. And pretty much the only thing that will wake him up is his own phone alarm. It's like Pavlov's experiment. The post Comic:...

Comic: Some Japanese Words are REALLY Difficult
I know I made fun of Ryosuke's "Engrish" in this comic, but I have just as many problems (if not more) with Japanese. For the life of me, I can't pronounce the station name "Bubaigawara." Try it. It's...

Comic: Women only need three things
Ryosuke is really great at giving compliments. He wasn't always that way. Something I learned pretty early on in Japan - women in Japan are usually either "cute" or "beautiful/sexy." You can't be...

Comic: Changing Clothes (Part 2)
This is the second part of this comic. I used to be very concerned about how I looked. I guess I thought I was just one hair-color, one makeover, or one fancy dress away from being attractive. But...

Comic: Recording Youtube Videos in Osaka
I touched on this a bit (small bit) on this video - it is really, really awkward recording Youtube videos in public. I have no idea how most people vloggers do it. Like, seriously. Don't even get me...

Comic: I hate crowded trains in Tokyo
One of the best things about working from home is the fact that I rarely have to ride incredibly crowded trains. When I do, I feel like I can't breathe. There's too much sweat and carbon dioxide in...

Comic: Alternate Drawing Styles
Just for fun, I tried drawing comics with a calligraphy pen. It was awesome. I really liked how it turned out. I probably can't actually draw detailed stuff with this brush. The post Comic:...

Comic: Please Stop…
This is why I can’t get any work done when Ryosuke’s home. He gets distracted super-easily. And loves bothering me while I’m writing/comic-ing. Mark my words – we’re going to start our own company...

Comic: Train Suicides in Tokyo
So this isn’t a funny comic (which is pretty obvious). But train suicides really are a problem in Tokyo. In my two years in Tokyo, I’ve been on trains that have been delayed/stopped because of a...
