@mikemil828 And that's south. The southern part of Japan is subtropical, which means the rest to the north is southern temperate. Tokyo, for example, is at the level of the northern tip of Africa, much more south from Rome. I won't deny the winter in the very north of Japan wouldn't be a real winter with a meter of snow, but that's the specialty of the local climate and quite surprising. Tokyo's winter, however, is just numbers on the calendar.
@mikemil828 That certainly explains any confusion. I merely meant a country that's not so far to the north it would have a genuinely frigid climate. It was my mistake to use such a misleading description in an international place like Mangadex. Sorry about that.
