Deep In Japan

In this episode, Trevor and I sit down with Noah Oskow to talk about his latest article in Unseen Japan: “Startling Anti-Drug Manga In Japan Draws Intense Mockery: Why a new anti-drug manga from Wakayama Prefecture has earned across the board ridicule for its depiction of marijuana use.” LINKS: The manga: https://www.pref.wakayama.lg.jp/prefg/050400/yakuran/d00203882.htmlNoah’s article: https://unseenjapan.com/anti-drug-manga-japan-backlash/ ** And (hint hint) should you wish to complain about the social messaging contained in this manga after reading it, you can email the Wakayama Health and Welfare Bureau directly at e0504002@pref.wakayama.lg.jp to let them know how you feel.
