J'apprends le #japonais il semble évident que j'aime des #mots de cette #langue tout autant que j'en découvre qui me laisse perplexe. Un favoris est #automne comme fruits, feuilles, frais, vent fou et au #Japon c'est tout doux: aki. Le #kanji se compose d'arbre et feu. Parfait! Si en français cela ne donnait pas "à qui," il serait sur ma liste de prénoms.
En revanche, qu'on ne différencie pas, au quotidien, entre jambe et pied, cela me titille. C'est juste ashi.

"Like strangers approaching you, or... meeting an unusual number of foreigners"

Careful, some could be Kremlin spies!

Americans projecting and inserting their own fears into Manga.

The English translation adds "meeting an unusual number of foreigners," which is not explicit in the original Japanese text. The Japanese simply refers to "meeting people outside" (外に会う), not specifying foreigners.
