Dreaming of an overseas life with a working holiday ♪
But what awaited was a desolate wilderness as far as the eye could see and grueling labor in a dimly lit warehouse!?
❏ Synopsis
I want to travel to various countries around the world, but I also need living expenses... So why not work where I go?!?
The author, who utilized the 'Working Holiday' system, a dream scheme that grants such wishes, exposes the too-real working conditions in various countries!
Australia, the UK...
I went to many countries, but among them, there was one country that regarded foreign workers on working holidays as nothing more than easy prey...
❏ Highlights
There are many books that depict the glamorous side of working holidays, but this series portrays the dark realities that have not been brought to light much until now.
The parts that candidly show how locals treat you when you work in another country as a foreign worker are a must-read. While depicting harsh realities, it is an essay manga that ultimately makes you smile.
