I'd be grateful for readers familiar with contemporary Japanese culture that would be willing to review the plot for a graphic novel set in modern-day Osaka. I need to confirm the accuracy and credibility of its setting before I pass it to the artists and I'd greatly appreciate comments and criticism on it.

Well, I personally am unfamiliar. However, a good friend was a teacher there for a year, several years ago, and she still has some friends there, so if you would like me to pass it on, let me know.

Wait, what? This thread is three years old. Damnit, who's raising the dead like this?

Raising the dead is a prerequisite for speaking with ghosts ;-)

A you are in luck my friend, or really I am in luck if I am to preview your work.

I am a big fan of Japanese women, and so I ended up paying close attention to their culture. I like Japanese culture so much I ended up getting married to a Japanese woman (visiting her country a handful of times) and am now moving to Japan later this week. I dont know if that makes me an expert by any means but if a man understands (or trys to) a woman of another culture he must have insight to afew things.

My wife and I would be happy to look at your graphic novel.
