Kansai people aren't scary~ Businessmen often interact with people from various regions, whether on business trips or with clients. It's natural to liven up casual conversations, understand the other person's intentions from those conversations, and connect them to business. However, the author, Ikuko Chiaki, a native and raised in Osaka, heard that some people are taken aback when their first business contact is a Kansai person. She decided to bridge the invisible, deep gap between Kansai people and Tokyoites! This book delivers, with refreshing writing and powerful illustrations, how Tokyoites should respond to Kansai people's jokes (even if they're not funny!) to smooth things over, and the "no-good" aspects of Tokyoites as perceived by the Kansai author. Read this, and you're sure to love Kansai people! This book deeply and amusingly explains how to interact with Kansai people in business situations through quizzes and certification formats! A powerful illustrated essay by the author, who lives in Kansai.
