Opinion of American through Japanese comic strip

Hi there!!! I gonna talk about Opinion of American through Japanese comic strip.
Japanese perceive America as special.
For example, an actor appears on American movie, we call them Hollywood Star.  Moreover, an obscure pianist wins a prize in America, they get popular in Japan. Because they  won a prize in America. 
Japanese love America and everybody wants to go to America.  If you come to Tokyo, you are very popular even if you are geek....
This is short comic (Charisma man) It talks about White men (geek) go to Japan and he get very popular.
It is very funny!! 






He is Canadian, but same would happen to an American. Also we can not distinguish where they from (until we hear them speak). So when we find foreigner,  we call American. No matter what, even if European, White and Black people are American for us.  We are very nice to American, however American look down on us in Japan. It is in my opinion.  Even if they are rude, we can forgive them because American.   We forgive them even when they are very rude and inconsiderate to us, but we still love America.

  1. Mao,
    I am excited to read more about your blog throughout the semester!
    A few things I would work on is making your blog more personal. Add a picture of you and some information about you so readers know more who you are!
    Also, I would work on consistency of your fonts and posts. It's easier as a reader to read a website and posts that have the same size and same color font. I think it flows better and attracts the reader's attention a little more.
    I think your blog will be very interesting, and I'm looking forward to learning more about Japan's culture compared with America's!

  2. I enjoyed the comic strip and your personal interpretation of the comic! My advice would be to use a smaller font on your next post so it isn't so overwhelming. Great job!
