In the latest update to the Google Chrome Blog, they spent a bit of time talking about how Chrome is expanding into other languages, and the importance of the Japanese development team there. And at the end, they mentioned that the Japanese audience is getting their own version of the Google Chrome comic.
This 9-page supplement to Scott McCloud's lengthy explanation as to the inner workings of the browser was done by artist Yutanpo Shirane. I'm not even attempting to go ahead and read through whatever technical Japanese might be in there, so I'll leave it up to you to just go ahead and flip through. I'm sure the bits of explanations they give over on the Chrome Blog sums it up.
So, I doubt it will be long before the Internet starts creating their own stories for what's going on here, and I look forward to what they can create. If you've got some free time, go ahead and crack open Photoshop to start adding in your own captions here.
