What? Why the hell is this blog called ASUPREMENEWYORKTHING? Cause most of these posts are about the most random things.
I agree, now shut up.
Anyway, this was an interesting article in The Economist. Oooh, I love saying stuff like that, “I read the Economist.” Did you feel those goosebumps? But most of the issues are wasted on me. I’m not in a position to be able to use it to make billion dollar decisions. That’s why I read the trivial articles in the blue boxes. Ah ha ha, who am I kidding? It’s ALL trivial (to me). Oh god, oh god, I’m so funny…
(sigh) I’m lonely.
There were a lot of reasons I liked this article. First, it wasn’t in a blue box despite my feeling that it definitely qualifies as a blue box article. Second, Kenshi Hirokane’s went from corporate robot to manga artist!? How awesome is that!? Third, it’s an article on manga in The Economist!
Here’s a secret, for the longest time, I thought the Japanese were the most disciplined people in the world. I mean they are, but I thought they were PERFECT. I thought the Japanese were the real life version of that Gattaca movie. People would tell me these fairy tales about Japan and how there’s no AIDS there and literacy rate is 99% or something. Then I realized they were human and all people are ultimately alike (cue ‘It’s a Small World After All’ now). Click the picture above to read the article. You’re WELCOME!
