Reverse Culture Shock Comic

This comic was featured in the Nagano Jet Programme’s Leaver’s Series 3 and Transfer Magazine issue 118. I also feature it on my blog, Kat in Japan.

I created this comic in 2018 to document my feelings upon my return to the US from Japan.

Culture shock is a culmination of emotions that can’t always be expressed in words.

So, I used comics as my medium to work through the complicated feelings I had at the time.

I hope it can help others work through their reverse culture shock, too.
