Sensei just discovered Tezuka’s Adolf (he says it’s my fault) and thinks it is the most cracktastic Japan-thing this whole week. He didn’t say “cracktastic,” though. We need to teach him the word, I think it encapsulates the essence of what he looks for in his Important Modern Japanese Literature. Sensei is a good teacher for this particular batch of Japanese majors, because he clearly went into the field for all the wrong reasons.
