Hokuou Joshi: A Swedish Girl’s Life in Japan Volume 1, Chapter 5 (107)
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 5: I ♥ Japan (107)「Like an Anime Character」
Like an Anime Character
Åsa’s comment
Aren’t hosts’ hairstyles just the coolest?! It’s almost like they’re making fun of gravity. I saw a host with colored contacts once, too. He kinda…looked like a pretty girl from a manga, ha ha!
