Following his graduation from college, he takes a job as a math teacher on the island of Shikoku, far from the city. Thrust into this alien small-town environment, Botchan encounters nothing but trouble from his students and fellow teachers. Among his tormentors are the pompous, two-faced vice-principal; his fawning sidekick-the art teacher; the spineless principal; and a pack of brawny, prankster students - all of whom seem out to get him. Mayhem ensues, but in the end Botchan prevails through honesty and dogged determination.A modern classic, Botchan rivals Soseki's famous I Am a Cat in popularity in Japan. This is the funniest of Soseki's novels, a penetrating portrait of a young man's quest to survive the suffocating hypocrisy of everyone around him while remaining true to his beliefs.Recommended for readers ages 14 and up due to explicit language\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52220052701472,"sku":"NEW4805317825","price":8.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81u4ItVko3L.jpg?v=1787266217","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/soseki-natsumes-botchan-the-manga-edition-one-of-japans-most-popular-novels-of-all-time-now-available-in-manga-form-tuttle-japanese-classics-in-manga-4805317825","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
