Anti-Korean Japanese Comic Upsets Patriots Date: 12/12/2005 |
| Chosun Illbo reports the manga Ken Kanryu is still pissing off Koreans. Author Sharin Yamano has become a bestselling author, having sold more than 300,000 copies. An interviewed high-ranking Tokyo official said any anti-Korea sentiment comes only from a tiny minority. "I don't think there is a kind of resentment or hatred or ill-feeling toward Korea mounting in Japan, not at all. There are some groups of people who entertain those sentiment, the so-called conservatives. This is not a prevailing trend, I would say." Because of the high demand, Amazon-Japan says delivery can take up to six weeks. Nonetheless, there's a growing appetite. A sequel -- called simply ?gAnti-Korean Wave 2?h -- is coming out by the end of the year. |
