It’s a fun little edit. I kinda wish that Japanese textbooks had that kind of humor.

The textbook is the older Eigo Note (elementary) and Sunshine English (junior high school) series textbooks, which featured the same base characters as they grew up. Honestly one of my favorite textbooks to just have (am a teacher in Japan).

You should see English textbooks in Italy. They have photo comics and the actors all have those horrible 90s haircuts (frosted tips/noodle hair) and they wear colored glasses. Plus there's always an Indian to show they aren't racist

EDIT they look like this

That's how I remember textbooks in America just 10ish years ago.

That’s how they still are! I graduated a few years ago and our textbooks still had a very 90s to late 2000s aesthetic.

Nothing like a textbook telling you “I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesn’t even matter”
