Photo editing app is like having a production team adapt your life into anime, in more ways than one. When you stop and think about it, it’s actually sort of surprising that our ace reporter Mr. Sato isn’t the star of an anime series. He’s a guy who lives his life without fear, chasing his dreams and exploring places such as the Dragon Palace, so you’d think there’d be at least enough material to squeeze a 13-episode anime TV series out of.

This year, I’ve been wearing a few affordable Fair Isle sweaters on rotation, and I thought it would be fun to share them on the...
