What's with Kee Sun's accent?
What’s with Kee Sun’s accent?
Kee Sun is one of my favorite characters, and I’m not alone. I get asked about the Korean cook a lot — especially about his accent. I recently was asked a question over on Goodreads:

Read Moon Time at Mochizuki, the next exciting chapter of Risuko!
17—Moon Time at Mochizuki In which Risuko, Emi, and Toumi learn a lot about knives — and rocks.

We began by fetching a large bag of rice from the storehouse.

A new sneak preview of Risuko: Chapter 12 — Novices
12 — Novices Risuko, Toumi and Emi are quickly thrown into their duties at Mochizuki, their new home. They meet a girl with white hair, discover what a Kee Sun is, and Emi laughs. “My name is Fuyudori. I am the oldest of the initiates here, and so you may address me as Fuyudori-san or Fuyudori-senpai.” We followed her steady stride toward the back of the compound. It was impossible not to watch…
