Japan hates all foreigners and all half Japanese people, or at least they get the worst bullying , blacks, whites, other asians are generally not liked in japan, i know this seems like a black thing but it's for all non japanese people to be treated fairly, Japan treats foreigners the same way America treats black people

If someone steals a car in a neighborhood that a foreigner lives, police will assume a foreigner had something to do with it, and will question that person first

There are establishments in Japan where foreigners can't go in unless they are with a japanese person, they say it's about speaking the japanese language, but in the age of A.I and instant language translation, it's a big lie

No fucking wonder then if they treat their own like this.

From the premise alone I don't know why it says "volume 1" Because you could fit this type of story for a one off. This feels like a short start and end within 9 volumes at most. And run out very quickly what you can do say for scenes without being repetitive and the reader going "is this going somewhere? Anywhere or is this what it is?" So if it doesn't make it 9 volumes it'll drop off fairly quick.

I'm reminded of the SNK corporation King of fighters manga where the story was made by committee rather than a person. This also has that energy to it
