  ・Sazae-san (サザエさん)

  Sazae-san started publication in the 1940s, and the main character (Ms. Sazae) and her busy family are still iconic in Japan. (Which we were all reminded of recently thanks to this popular Japanese meme.) The comic's classic 4-panel shape and unique illustration style are a little different from what we might expect to see in 21st century manga, but reading a volume of Sazae-san will certainly give you a new view of Japanese life - how it was back then, and how some things never change.
  
  Read: Volumes 1 + 7 ~ 9

So, what's on the reading list?
