A Japanese-American's daily life, a romance is the main focus of the story.
I said 'romance', but the story and words are very realistic and harsh. The story consists of tons of arguments.
The main character is not cheerful, passionate, or open-minded. He seems selfish and nasty. in addition, he may have a complex about being Asian. To tell the truth, the main character doesn't seem emotionally attractive. However, of course, stories don't always need to be joyful work. Who said we always have to have pleasant comics?
The comic shows what you probably don't want to see. As I said, the main character has a complex about being Asian. He doesn't try to be better, and he replies to advises with arguments.
I think the author intentionally wrote other Asian-American characters who fit in well with American society speak their mother language, whereas the main character can't speak Japanese. What the author wanted to say is not about languages, but attitude. Maybe he doesn't accept himself as a Japanese-American who was born and raised in the US.
Most of the story is arguments, but the author expresses ambivalent feelings through them.
