Join couple Julia and Marc as they leave the comfort of home to live in a country whose culture and art has inspired them: Japan! When the economy takes a downturn and Marc loses his engineering job, the pair realize that their relative lack of ties means they can pool their savings and his severance to embark on a new adventure, and where better for a comic artist and aspirational video game musician to go than Japan? (Until the money runs out, anyway…) Julia documents the entire experience, how they move into a tiny apartment, enroll in a local Japanese school, and begin to acclimate to the local culture (Mysterious toilets! Inscrutable garbage rules! The local fire patrol!). Follow their heartfelt and hilarious adventures as they discover more about this incredible country and each other.
