Yeah calling your own grandma obaassn is totally normal, chill out book.

Yeah, no, beer vending machines are actually hard to come by. They aren’t in Shibuya station.

many parts of this book get it right & then there are these weird things like one of the JPN characters has trouble with reading & writing ENG but is great w/ speaking. I thought she’d lived abroad but she didn’t & even went to a JPN school. It’s odd that she’s great at spoken ENG when in general it’s the opposite. JPN students learn ENG reading/writing from Elementary school (I’m speaking as an ex-ENG convo teacher)

Um that literally is not how PASMO cards work. They cost 500yen to buy & only hold however much money you put onto them. So unless these cards have A LOT of money on them (which is stupid if you lose it) giving it to someone to sell is basically pointless. And pretty sure these kids don’t have commuter passes since they get driven to school...

Lmao okay so far there have been several Big Deals about “no shoes inside the house” & here they are in the living room & the sister’s branded shoes are described. Uh, okay.....

LMAO ummmmmm why is she taking Spanish class & not Japanese???

Have confirmed with a real live young adult in Japan that “gozaimasu” is not currently slang in Japan. It wasn’t while I was there either. And it doesn’t really make sense...

The romanji in this book is weird.
