The Kancho Game [Finger Enemas - Japans Weirdest Game?]
If you dont know what a kancho is, youre and for a rather unpleasant surprise today.
This is one of the things that really shocked me about Japanese classroom culture ( I had never watched Naruto & the 1000 years of pain). Its one of those aspects of Japanese culture thats treated as normal, but would be EXTREMELY hard to get away with in the U.S.
If youre ever teaching in Japan and you encounter a rather unexpected, unpleasant jolt in your backside, you may have just been the latest victim of the classic, Japanese kids game - the kancho game , aka the finger enema game.

How To Read One Punch Man Manga in Japanese [Ep. 6 - REVIEW!]
In todays edition of how to read manga in Japanese, lets review what weve done so far. Well compile just the reading sections of the last five one punch-man, manga episodes. I hope you can find some kanji readings that really stand out to you, and I hope you get some useful Japanese reading practice in.
Unfortunately, this series isnt getting the reception that I thought it would, and thats okay. But im going to go until episode 10 or 15. If nobodys feeling it, then Im going to just stop it there. I wanted to give you a heads up, so you fully understand if/when this series stops. If youve enjoyed these, thanks for watching, I sincerely appreciate it.
If youre learning to read Japanese kanji, I recommend going back and watching these vids (with and without subs) to see how much you can pick up.
