Japanese Couple Tries to Move for Mount Fuji Photo Accidentally Still Blocks View

This is a two-panel wholesome meme shared as an X (formerly Twitter) post screenshot. The accompanying post text states that a kind Japanese couple on a train moved out of the way to allow a tourist to take a clear photo of Mount Fuji, which is visible outside the train window. The first panel shows an older Japanese man sitting directly in front of the window, grinning happily and blocking the view of Mount Fuji. The second panel shows the man has moved to the right to get out of the window frame, but his wife, who was seated next to him, is now slumped asleep over the tray table directly in front of the window, still blocking the view. This creates an endearing, humorous punchline as the couple's well-meaning attempt to help inadvertently failed.
