「将来の夢は?」コジコジの答えが深すぎる | "What is your dream?" A Deep Lesson from Manga

Okkei Japanese Podcast

Show Notes

Today I talk about my favorite manga, "Coji-Coji." It is written by Momoko Sakura, the creator of "Chibi Maruko-chan." Coji-Coji looks cute, but his words are very deep, almost like Zen philosophy. His answer to the question "What do you want to be in the future?" teaches us an important lesson about living in the "now."

I also talk about the style of Japanese radio programs and my idea to make a new jingle. I hope you enjoy this episode 👇Learn N5 Immersion Program https://www.okkeijapanese.com/n5-program/
