About
Five English teachers from America, England, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia converge at Osaka English Academy, each seeking something-escape, adventure, identity, or purpose-in the vibrant, challenging landscape of Japan. Over one transformative academic year, James Carter, Sophie Reynolds, Liam Walker, Emma Chen, and Tom Harris navigate the cultural complexities of teaching English as foreigners (gaijin), forging relationships with Japanese staff and each other, while confronting personal struggles.
