20 Comic Illustrations Depicting Cultural Differences Between Japan And Other Countries
We’ve previously explored why Japan as a society is very different to the rest of us. Yet our fascination with these cultural differences is not abated. In fact, Evangeline Neo, a comic artist who studied in Tokyo, Japan from 2010 to 2014, was similarly taken up by her own explorations of the country and subsequent culture shock.
During her time in Japan, she noticed many differences from other countries and decided to portray her experiences through a comicseries called Evacomics. Her depictions have been spread across two books under the names, “Eva, Kopi and Matcha” and “Eva, Kopi and Matcha 2.0” which are available on ebook platforms and Amazon. However, you can check out a few of her best works in the gallery below.

Got wisdom to pour?
Got my daily dose of cringe
What reality do you come from? Japanese women are far from subservient. I should know since I am married to Japanese. You’re probably confusing Japan with Korea. I know Asians all look the same to you.
Very racist and very pro Japanese for the most part, and kind of cowardly they don’t show how women are treated subservient in the Japanese culture
South Korean women are not subservient. Don’t look at how things were 50+ yrs ago, and there’s no need to choose/assume another race to deflect a comment.
Free spirit on her own journey? More like racist zoomer being a xenophobic. Cringe

hi
I can’t say if any of these are accurate because I’ve never been to Japan or Singapore, but the bit about how corporations are in the US…spot on
The subway one must be the wrong way around or I don’t get it. Either way I don’t get it.
