I lived in Japan during this time, as a foreigner, a lot of the mistrust and prejudice is accurate. The corporate life is fast paced and grueling. I saw some reviews complain about all the smoking portrayed, I would say it's actually pretty toned down. The majority of adult males in Japan smoke, and English is taught from a young age, people in Tokyo especially have some basic knowledge of it. Fascinating glimpse into this world, really enjoy it so far.
