(The big-nosed guy is Justin. He's an American that has come to Japan to be a missionary, but unfortunately for him, he is not well acquainted with Japanese culture. Right now, he's meeting his new roommate, Keiji.)In Japan, hugging is a no-no for many people. Since it's a new custom, many Japanese will feel embarrassed by it, and it's probably not the best idea to go around hugging everyone. Probably. Even when Japanese talk to each other, they stand rather far apart. And when they bow in greeting, no part of either's body will touch the other person. Not a very hugable people. :)
note: Gaijin means foreigner, or more literally "outside person." Kind of an "us and them" feeling.
What is absolutely hilarious about this is that Justin looks so American and Keiji looks SO Japanese! SO JAPANESE. Everything about him! I know you don't think you're a very good artist and sure you might not know how to draw pretty anime people or whatever, but you've got characterization down pat.
