It's wild that this manga has taught me several random niche details about my own country, like I had no idea dogs were legally allowed at graveyards here until I read this and looked it up. The ones I visit the most have signs that prohibit bringing them but I guess churches elsewhere might be more lax?
Anyway, I read through all these chapters recently and it's really really impressive how faithfully this manga captures the very essence of Finland. It's nice to read about the things you sort of take for granted and don't give much thought to in everyday life, seeing them through Jun's eyes puts them into a whole new perspective. The art is also stunning, and it takes me out every time someone goes 'perkele' lol
Thank you for the translation!
