"This feels like a love letter to a very specific audience: the self-aware weeb"
Almost twenty 5-star reviews (we were so close)
• Travel through the Japanese countryside, where the signs are no longer in English, the locals force you to eat sushi their way, and you get stuck at night waiting for trains that may never come• Learn all the WRONG WAYS to dance with Japanese girls at Roppongi bars, go on a "date" with your online language pal, and flirt with girls from your hostel• The revolutionary way to break from Japan's homophobia by accidentally booking a love hotel with your own brother (because at least it beats another night in the net cafe cubicle)This book gives you everything you need to book a terrible trip to Japan, and still come out having learned "a nice message about being true to yourself."
Are you ready to make your weaboo dreams come true?
My name is 「Watashi」, and I passed Japanese 2 at my uni, I have a MAL list full of anime/manga you've probably never heard of, and I made my way through a 2-week trip to Japan with nothing but a backpack. And now, I want to share everything I know with you. You can get started with this free book sample!
"This book is as raw as it is funny. There are moments of levity, discomfort, cringeyness, and deep insight. I found myself laughing throughout, but I wasn’t sure if it was the right emotion for what was being described."
