I mentioned in an earlier post that I don’t watch much anime or read many manga. But there are a few I like.
(Click here for my post about it).
If I read manga, it’s to study Japanese and the theme is usually family life (Or monsters. I like monsters).
One of the manga I like is called 「ダーリンは外国人」 (“My Darling Is A Foreigner“).
「ダーリンは外国人」
The writer of this manga is 小栗左多里 (Saori Oguri) and the stories are about actual events in her international marriage in Japan with an American named Tony Laszlo.
Well, the manga is being made into a live-action movie with a Japanese actress named 井上真央 (Mao Inoue) playing the part of 小栗左多里 (Saori Oguri) and a foreign actor named Jonathan Sherr playing Tony Laszlo.

Mao Inoue is cute… but man is her English terrible lol, I noticed when I saw her in the TV drama ‘First Kiss.’ Anyway, the drama was good overall though, I’m slowly making my way through the novel in Japanese now. Anyway, this movie looks interesting, will definitely have to check it out once it’s released.

Have you seen the manga?
(They also show bits from the manga in cartoon form on the TV screens on JR 山の手線 trains in Tokyo sometimes.)

Yeah, last time I was in Japan I saw part of it on a screen in a JR Chuo-line train. This time around though I haven’t seen any of it in any trains yet.
