    佐世保の飲食店では楽しそうに食事をする米軍兵士をよく見かける。ある日焼肉店で見かけたグループは、ベーコンを見て異様なテンションに達していた。

    By the way, I drew them as Marines. Although there are no permanently stationed Marines in Sasebo, they do spend their leave in town when ships like LHDs call at the port.

    In my previous illustrations, I drew Navy sailors as they appeared in the 2010s, but I chose Marines this time because,

    “Marine-chan, what do you like?”

    “Yakiniku~”

    I wanted to make that meme.

    Auto-translated commentary:

    In Sasebo's dining establishments, it's common to spot U.S. military personnel enjoying their meals with lively enthusiasm. One day, at a yakiniku restaurant, I came across a group that reached an oddly intense level of excitement just upon seeing the bacon.

    Auto-translated commentary:

    'Americans never saw thickly cut bacon' moment, and guessing other Americans indirectly got culture shocked.
    In case of anyone wondering 'how thick it is to make people got culture shocked', here's a reference picture.

    At that size, it's basically pork steak.
