Chibiham, Juicy & Me (Book 1)

By Paprika

Exchange student Paprika is living her new life happily in Japan with her best friend Juicy, when one day her cousin Chibiham asks to come visit for a month in the summer. Not having seen her in some time, Paprika heartily agrees. What she is dealt with is far worse than she could have imagined - her entitled, ill-mannered, boorish relative takes Japan by storm, ready to plow down anything that stands in the way of her seeing the country exactly the way she imagined it. Can Paprika and Juicy tame the wild American before the month is up? And what happens when the rotund terror meets up with an immovable force - the immortal Mama?
A funny, true story about an overbearing tourist in Japan, complete with tour guiding, cultural explanations, and Japanese recipes. Born of the Reddit storytellers, a success story of a different flavor. Experience it for yourself.

Table of Contents

This tale was written as a set of short stories for Reddit, a website of user-based content and creativity. FPS is short for Fat People Stories – this community focuses on the pitfalls of a logic which strains to keep the unhealthy set in their ways. This is called fatlogic, though a person doesn't need to be fat in order to have fatlogic. A hamplanet is a large person who thinks the world and all its values should revolve around them, but a fat person does not a hamplanet make. It takes a heck a lot of ignorance and self-centered-ness to become a hamplanet, much of which was displayed in this story by Chibiham herself.

I encourage those who read through this story without knowing Reddit to give it a try – you might have some great anecdotes yourself to share. It surely is one of the most encouraging and warm communities on the internet.
