Tokio is a tough guy transfer student who arrives in Tokyo raring to test his mettle against the scrappiest fighters the city has to offer. However, his expectations of a standard delinquent showdown are shattered when he meets a Japan-obsessed, red-haired kid who refuses to leave him alone until he identifies his home prefecture. In Seiji Hayashi's hilarious action comedy I’m From Japan (2018), this persistent new acquaintance reveals he has developed a unique martial art based on the distinct characteristics of all forty-seven Japanese prefectures. Tokio's life takes a turn for the crazy as he is pulled into a world of bizarre combat and regional pride that defies all ordinary school-life logic. The story blends high-energy gags with a deep love for Japanese culture, as Tokio navigates the eccentricities of his new surroundings. Now complete, this buddy-gag manga is an unmissable read for fans of character-driven humor and unique martial arts parodies. It is a bold and funny exploration of what it means to belong.
