The Boy From the Moon

The Boy From the Moon

Shoujo

An Na Suh lives with her gorgeous brother, Aaron suh (guy up there) who's popular with everyone—regardless of gender. An Na's mother has gone to Africa for a volunteer project and her father has gone missing ever since the day Aaron was brought to the house. Then, one morning, An Na decides to look for her father, and whether it be luck or coincidence, she gets a phone call from the police saying that they've found something related to her father. It turns out that it's a young boy who although looks to be in his teens, acts very child-like. Grasping onto the possibility that the boy could being a clue to finding her father, An Na takes him home. Besides the unknown origins of this boy, the story throws in another puzzle. An Na and Aaron... may not be related! Unfortunately, without the DNA of An Na's father, it is virtually impossible to determine whether or not they are brother and sister. An Na remembers her father asking her if she wanted to go to the moon: "Let's go to the moon, An Na. Then, all the stomachaches and worries will disappear. You just need to close your eyes and count down from ten. Ten, nine, eight, seven..." After doing that a few times, whether it was because I had perhaps lost my mind or because I was on Father's shoulders, when I suddenly looked up at the night sky, the moon really did seem bigger and closer than it had ever been before. Did her father go to the moon? Who is this boy and what does he have to do with An Na's father? Or perhaps this boy's from the moon. The amount of questions pile up all the way to the stars.

Manga Nihon Keizai Nyuumon

Historical Slice of Life

They are burning Japanese cars in Detroit. The top management at Toyosan Motors must decide whether to begin offshore production of its cars in the U.S. But our hero Mr. Kudo fears that offshore production will devastate the numerous local subcontractors of Toyosan, leading to a hollowing out of the auto industry in Japan, leaving only a financial shell. The American color TV industry has already suffered such a fate. The villain, Mr. Tsugawa, calls Kudo a wimp and sees a splendid opportunity for union busting. Will our hero prevail? Thus begins the first episode of this rollicking yet incisive introduction to the world economy from the Japanese point of view. Other episodes treat the appreciation of the yen, the impact of the 1970s oil shocks, deficit financing, the internationalization of business and banking, and the post-industrial future of Japan and the Pacific Rim. The book is an English edition of volume 1 of Manga Nihon Keizai Nyumon, originally published in 1986 by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the Japanese equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. It is based on a serious introductory text put out by the newspaper and is packed with informative charts and facts. When the comic book was first published in Japan, it was an immediate best-seller, selling over 550,000 copies in less than a year. The stories in the book reflect Japan's national mood during the "Japanese miracle" and into the 1980s economic bubble: apprehension and optimism jostle one another, and there is a sense of national self-pity. The book also reflects a deep suspicion of politics and bureaucrats. The prime minister appears more worried about his government's popularity than about taking the right economic course. Ultimately, the employees at Toyosan Motors demonstrate that the success of the Japanese economy will not depend on natural resources or politics but on business practices that are ethical, socially responsible, and forward-looking (Source: University of California Press)
