Hokuou Joshi: A Swedish Girl’s Life in Japan Volume 1, Chapter 3 (60)

Convenience store onigiri are way too handy! Why is it that Japanese girls can call just about anything “cute?” The guys at host bars are so hot, they’re like real-life anime characters! These are only some of the mysteries Swedish manga artist Åsa Ekström discovers in this journal comic about her journey from Scandinavia to Japan, which is jam-packed with surprises and laughs! ＞＞＞Chapter 3: The Rewarding Challenges of Japanese (60)「The Racist」

The Racist

Åsa’s comment

It’s not just Sweden these days—racism is on the rise all over Europe. I hate it. That’s why, when I found out I’d been using a slur by accident, I couldn’t live with myself. I’m so, so sorry!
