Hokuou Joshi: A Swedish Girl’s Life in Japan Volume 1, Chapter 5 (111)
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 (111)「Only on the Outside…」
Only on the Outside…
Åsa’s comment
Maybe we’ve got similar hairstyles, but our personalities are totally different! If only I could have as strong and refined a personality as Oscar… The strong female leads in shoujo manga may be the biggest reason I got into manga in the first place.
