北欧女子オーサが見つけた日本の不思議
In 2011, Åsa Ekström, a Swedish comics artist and illustrator, relocated to Japan with the goal of building a career as a manga creator. After years of effort, she gained recognition through a comic-style web diary that rapidly gained popularity. Her work consists of brief, amusing, and perceptive comic strips that explore various aspects of Japanese culture, highlighting what might appear unique or puzzling to someone from a Western background.
