American Criticism of Japan's Sleepless Leadership Lands the Same Day as Manga Hall-of-Fame Honors
U.S. reporting described Prime Minister Takaichi's remarks about sleeping very little as abnormal and as encouraging poor working conditions, and on the same day Akira Toriyama and Go Nagai were inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame. Japanese commenters split between agreeing the criticism was correct and rejecting it as coming from Americans who elected Trump, and between pride in the manga honor and irritation at treating a foreign award as the measure.
