This is actually happening. I lol'd a lot.
Japan has released a manga to explain the country's economic policy.
It's called,
Nihon no Mirai wa Nozomi ni Omakase! ~Manga de Wakaru Shin Keizai Seichō Senryaku
In English: "Count on Our Hopes [Nozomi] for Japan's Future! Understanding the New Economic Growth Strategy with Manga."
Nozomi is the main character, a 16 year old girl and the book is aimed at middle school through college students. It tackles subjects like, "making the economic unification of East Asia a reality," "making the low-carbon society a reality," and "developing new techniques through the cooperation of mid-sized and small businesses."
....Yep. Only Japan could get away with school girls with colorful hair to save the country via their fun and exciting teachings of economics!
