  Botchan - Natsume Soseki
Botchan is entirely unimpressed by the people he has to deal with.
Botchan is a loner, though he can get along with others when he has to.
A sympathetic narrator, prone to rash acts, Botchan's story of his life as a teacher is bumpy (and comes to a fairly quick and somewhat simplistic conclusion) but entertaining.

Botchan is the third book I've read of Soseki's, and it was fun to read about the adventures and mishaps (mostly mishaps) that Botchan encounters in this tale.
This having been said, it seems prudent to remember that Soseki himself said that Botchan should not be considered a Japanese "ideal." His naivete and straight-forwardness are no match for the calculated actions that get him and others ousted from the school.
Botchan is really not a very ambitious guy, but one with much pride.

 Review | Botchan by Natsume Soseki
Botchan, Cohen tells us, is the nickname given to the main character by his devoted old family servant.
Thus Botchan can be mildly endearing, as in the case of the family servant who continues to call her beloved master this, or it can be dismissive and slightly insulting.
Simplistic, direct, outspoken, angry, much of Botchan's thought and dialogue is directed against the society in which he finds himself and its inhabitants.

 Madinkbeard » Times of Botchan Review
The Times of Botchan is a historical fiction series based on the life of Japanese novelist Natsume Soseki, one of the major Japanese writers of the early Twentieth Century.
These two volumes focus not only on Soseki, but also on a disparate group of young men he meets in a beer hall (itself a place where West meets East, beer being a recent introduction to Japan at that time).
The Times of Botchan is unique in English translated manga, and I highly recommend it.

 Scientific FrontLine by SFL ORG. News Center / Molecular DNA Switch Found to be the Same for All Life
Research led by Michael Botchan (left), Eva Nogales and James Berger revealed that the molecular machinery behind the initiation of DNA replication in biological cells is remarkably similar for all forms of life on Earth.
This study was led by Botchan and Nogales, and included Megan Clarey, Jan Erzberger, Patricia Grob, Andres Leschziner and Berger.
The two studies by Nogales, Berger, Botchan and their colleagues also show how when nature finds a mechanism that works well, such a mechanism is conserved through evolution.

 Graphic Novel Review » The Times of Botchan, First Volume
The Times of Botchan is difficult to read, and not just because of the clumsy English employed by the translators (though that certainly doesn’t help).
Contemporary writer, Soseki Natsume, expressed the feelings of the time through his classic Botchan which Sekikawa explores through an adult story that Taniguchi illustrates with exquisite and elegant detail forming a transparent window onto this time of turbulent (and sometimes violent) change in Japanese society.
According to the publishers, this English volume represents one-half of the original first Japanese volume — and the completed Times of Botchan ran for five volumes, each of which was presumably at least double the length of this first English volume.

Like The Catcher in the Rye or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Botchan, a hilarious tale about a young man's rebellion against “the system” in a country school, is a classic of its kind.
Into this conservative world, with its social proprieties and established pecking order, breezes Botchan, down from the big city, with scant respect for either his elders or his noisy young charges; and the result is a chain of collisions large and small.
Much of the story seems to occur in summer, against the drone of cicadas, and in many ways this is a summer book—light, funny, never slow-moving.

 Botchan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Among Japanese readers both young and old it has enjoyed a timeless popularity, making it, according to Donald Keene, "probably the most widely read novel in modern Japan." The setting is Japan's deep south, where the author himself spent some time teaching English in a boys' school.
Much of the story seems to occur in summer, against the drone of cicadas, and in many ways this is a summer book-light, funny, never slow-moving.
Here, in a lively new translation much better suited to Western tastes than any of its forebears, Botchan's homespun appeal is all the more apparent, and even those who have never been near the sunlit island on which these calamitous spisodes take place should find in it uninterrupted entertainment.

 Research News:
Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have shown that the core machinery for initiating DNA replication is the same for all three domains of life - Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya.
Biochemist and structural biologist James Berger, a participant in both studies added, “Our findings of evolutionary kinship between the DNA initiators in all three domains make sense because, to paraphrase Francois Jacob, the one thing a cell wants to do is to become two cells.
