I like the utter randomness that happens here. Trouble seems to follow Johnny Hiro everywhere. His girlfriend Mayumi is pretty cardboard as a character, but she’s supportive and nice. Didn’t care for the cameos, but they add a dream-like quality to the story. The New York setting and the working just to survive gives me such post-college, hipster in a coffee shop vibes.

I picked this up on a whim while browsing at the comic book store, and ended up buying them. Really sweet, whimsical comics with Asian protagonists, playfully riffing on recognisably 'Asian' elements (samurai, ninjas) while working them into an ordinary life of an ordinary guy.
