An official website<\/a> has launched for the currently filming live action feature film adaptation of Saori Oguri’s autobiographical manga Darling wa Gaikokujin (My Darling is a Foreigner). The best selling manga chronicles Oguri’s married life with American journalist Tony Laszlo and the cultural differences they encounter and overcome. Live action Hana Yori Dango star Mao Inoue will co-star with actor Jonathan Sherr<\/a> in the film, which is scheduled to open next spring.<\/p>\n

I don’t wish to criticize the original manga nor the people it’s based on, but doesn’t this provide another example of Japan’s isolationist tendency to perceive the world consisting of Japan and “strange foreigners”? I just can’t envision an average American’s story about being married to a foreigner becoming a best selling series that gets adapted into a feature film. In America, cross-cultural marriage is common enough to ordinary.<\/i><\/p>\n
