Troublemakers: Issue 2 is a Japanese magazine that tells the stories of misfits, edited by
Yuto Miyamoto and Manami Inoue.
Guided by the subtle art of conversation, the editors speak with misfits who have recently found ‘a place to call home’. For Fukuko Kobayashi, an English literary scholar, belonging was discovered through Asian female writers and gender critical studies. For Linda, the daughter of refugee parents, it was embedded within her journey to Ireland. And for Kayoko and Yuki Tomobe, it was when opening their small and cozy Wall and the Egg Cafe. Whether it’s your family, your roots, your education, or your coffee shop, these stories remind us that “home” can be found anywhere. We also introduce a gender dystopian sci-fi story by Li Kotomi, “Female Degeneracy”; Okinawan-American photographer Tori Toguchi’s portrait series about the Nikkei cultural identity; and Tokyo-based British writer William Andrews’ essay about his encounter with Kurdish workers in Tokyo.
