Recently, manga translator Jocelyne Allen joined us for two livestreams to talk about Akino Kondoh's autobiographical series "Noodling in New York." The comics depict Akino sampling new foods, meeting a friend's cat, struggling with English, and navigating life between two cultures—a familiar challenge for many of our students.
