Not-So-Daily Link of the Day II: The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of the Japanese government has put out a book this month to explain Japan's New Economic Growth Strategy to manga readers. Nihon no Mirai wa Nozomi ni Omakase! ~Manga de Wakaru Shin Keizai Seichō Senryaku (Count on Our Hopes [Nozomi] for Japan's Future! Understanding the New Economic Growth Strategy with Manga) features a "charismatic" 16-year-old high school girl named Nozomi Mitsuno as its heroine. The heroine's name can be read as a wordplay that means "hope of light." Nozomi and her 18-year-old female rival (both of whom have the title of "Management Consultants") were created with the intent of making Japan's economic policy easy to understand and even "fun."

Purchase an interest in America.

****'s about to hit the fan, and I'd rather have Japanese businesses and influence than a lot of other alternatives.
