My Japanese Husband Thinks I'm Crazy: The Comic Book by Grace Buchele Mineta
4.0
I received this book after participating in the Kickstarter campaign for the Texan in Tokyo third book. So I’ve read this book now for the first time, but I do follow Grace and Ryosuke’s vlogs in youtube. If you are a subscriber to their channel you can almost imagine Grace’s voice while reading the book.
This book is not about Grace Japanese husband. This book is about her integration in Japan and her interaction with the Japanese culture and customs. She talks a bit about being in an interracial marriage, but it’s not the focus of the book.
I was expecting it to be a big comic memoir book. It is not. It has text parts where Grace explains a lot about Japanese culture and gives advices and tips for the travellers. Between the texts, there are one page vignettes with Grace and Ryosuke adventures. The drawing is simple and has no colour, but engaging.
I really enjoyed this book. Mostly because it is an extension of their youtube channel. It has the same humour and quirkiness. Hope I also enjoy the other 2 books.
