Drinking Adventures in Japan
Gaijin Tonic- New comic from Chris Carlier February 21, 2018There’s a new comic available called Spaboon by the writer of Little in Japan: I have just released a new comic called Spaboon, about the misadventures of a failed pharmaceutical company mascot. Spaboon is a half-spoon, half-baboon hybrid, so when he is laid off by Epoch Pharma Corporation, his prospects are extremely limited, and he […]Roaf
- Mondo Mascots January 16, 2017Mondo Mascots is a new site for those obsessed with Japanese yuru chara, the giant mascots that trot around at street festivals and store openings. Worth checking out if you’re looking to name an unidentified yuruchara seen in your neighbourhood, or find out what yuruchara-themed events are like.Roaf
- Little in Japan: A Night in Roppongi January 16, 2017In the latest Little in Japan Dave visits Roppongi. Roppongi used to be party central for ex-pats and tourists (and those who want to meet them) in the 80s and 90s, but now it’s a bit of a decaying dump.Roaf
- Little in Japan Book July 16, 2016The Little in Japan book is now on sale! The book collects all the Little In Japan comic strips so far, with a few new pages thrown in. It’s available as a 100-page paperback, or as a Kindle book. “Big in Japan” – Despite the cliche, not every westerner who arrives in Japan is greeted […]Roaf
- Little in Japan: The End of the Line January 11, 2016The first Little in Japan of the new year is about the perils of falling asleep on Japanese trains (which I have done a number of times). It’s a bit of a weird one. Here’s an excerpt: You can read the full strip here.Roaf

- Little in Japan: Trying to Be Something Other Than a Teacher January 18, 2015In the latest Little in Japan comic strip, Dave tries his luck at various non-teaching jobs in Japan, without much luck. It was a nice chance to commiserate with (and poke fun at) my fellow Tokyo creatives, who say they are in bands or writing novels, but are all secretly teachers. Read the whole story […]Roaf
- Dark Horizon January 18, 2015I recently read a copy of Brian Reyes’ outrageous book, Dark Horizon, which he describes as “a vulgar yet playful book of insults”. It’s a spoof of the popular English textbook series, New Horizon, which has been read in Japanese public school since 1965. Here’s how Brian describes it: I thought about the characters from […]Roaf
- Little in Japan: Onwards and Downwards April 1, 2014Dave’s downward spiral continues as the comic strip returns for the first time this year. This time he is exploring his unappealing career options. Check out the strip here: http://littleinjapan.com/?comic=onwards-and-downwardsRoaf

Haha, when I studied abroad in Kanazawa, Japan I experienced that same feeling. On one hand, you want to fit in and be approached by Japanese people, but at the same time you end up adopting the same attitude towards other foreigners.
Hey, haven’t seen any new posts in a while. Just commenting to see if you’re OK…
That’s nice! I’m fine, thanks.
Had to move to a house in Tokyo, start a new job, and go to lots of fundraising parties and sayonara parties, so I’ve been busy! I’ve got another comic strip on the way in a few days.
I’ve always read your blog but something happend cause for some time i don’t see any new article. Are you ok? or you need guest posts? Cause i’ll make a post if you want to. Regards.
I’m OK, thanks for asking！ I’ve been snowed under at work, plus I had to move house, and I’ve been dating a crazy woman, among other things. Will be updating soon. Been working on a long comic strip which will be done soon.
OH man! This is so true but most gaijin will not admit it.
