TOKYO — It’s not just
that Japanese women have a hard time leaning in. It also turns out that it’s
even harder for Japanese men to lean out.
Or that’s a conclusion
that could be drawn from the controversy over "Himozairu," a
short-lived Japanese cartoon that revolved around unemployed young men who try
to make themselves more attractive to professional women by teaching themselves
how to do housework.
Akiko Higashimura, a
well-known Japanese manga artist, has withdrawn her new series after only two
installments, because of criticism that the comic was demeaning to men.
