Funso Deshitara Hatta made

A manga that follows geopolitical risk consultant Yuri Hatta as she travel around the world solving problems.

This is an interesting manga but I have some issues with it. Mostly that I’m too “smooth brained” to both understand the world issues Hatta solves and also to know if it’s real or bullshit Motohiro Den is making up. While I think it’s unique to make a manga about solving modern geopolitics but it’s a slippery slope if you’re misrepresenting current on-going issues. Unfortunately my limitations on Japanese vocabulary mean I can’t understand what’s going on most of the time. I wish there was an English version and that I could let Seamus read it for me. The opening chapter even has Hatta defeating a North Ireland white supremist as she worries about the results of Brexit.

Available to read online in Japanese on Comic Days.
