Hokuou Joshi: A Swedish Girl’s Life in Japan Volume 1, Chapter 4 (68)
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 4: Back Home in Sweden (68)「Beauty Standards II」
Beauty Standards II
Åsa’s comment
When Japanese people imagine Swedish people, they probably picture blond hair. I’m blond, but Sweden is pretty multicultural, so you see lots of different skin, hair and eye colors here.
