I have found Japanese manners differ a lot from American manners. In English it’s hard to offend someone if you say something a certain way, but in Japanese there are so many ways to not be respectful through language. Also in Japanese manner, they often don’t tell you if you do something wrong, or their true feelings. It’s really hard to navigate these politeness rules while being a foreigner, but I guess we all just have to do our best.
