Joe is Japanese
I discovered this today via Japanator.
There is a series starting out now about a “hafu” named Joe, who’s life is in some ways remincient of any foreigner trying to assimilate in Japan. But halfway there is bemusingly not enough, as Joe finds.
The show is based on (mostly) true events from my life. It wasn’t easy growing up a half-breed. No one culture will ever be yours to embrace. No matter how hard I tried, I could never really be Japanese, and as I got older I realized that I might have overcompensated and became too Japanese.
So check it out; seems to be a webcast-only series so far, but high quality.
