The Louis Lamour of Japan
Matsumoto Seichou is the Louis Lamour of Japan, in the sense that he always goes to the location that he writes about in his books so he can describe it with such vivid detail that you see it in your imagination, something Lewis Lamour was good at too. I’m a sucker for a great mystery, and this book was good at using train timetables, and airplane schedules to figure out “who done it.” Entertaining an a great way to get familiar with Japanese geography.
Daigo faces the pressure of living up to the legacy of his father
Here’s a fun manga if you like baseball, or any sport really. The story focuses on Daigo Shigeno, who strives to step out of his father’s shadow and carve his own path in baseball. This theme highlights the importance of perseverance, hard work, and personal growth. (Warning: Daigo’s sister appears half-dressed in a few scenes early in the story—not sure why. Oh, manga!)
