  • Friends of Japan Åsa in Wonderland: the Comical Adventures of a Swedish Manga Artist in Japan
    Friends of Japan Åsa in Wonderland: The Comical Adventures of a Swedish Manga Artist in Japan While living in Japan, Swedish manga artist Åsa Ekström encountered a multitude of unexpected cultural differences. She related these experiences in a four-panel comic series, which became a huge hit when published as Hokuo joshi Osa ga mitsuketa Nihon no fushigi (Nordic Girl Åsa Discovers the Mysteries of Japan) this year. In the manga, Ekström pokes fun at herself, humorously depicting her struggles to use chopsticks, familiarize herself with Japanese toilets, learn the intricacies of formal Japanese speech, and grapple with the etiquette for exchanging business cards. The young artist first became captivated with Japanese anime and manga after watching the series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon when she was 13 years old. Although she went on to become a manga artist and illustrator in her native Sweden, she maintained an active interest in Japan and harbored a strong desire to live and draw manga here. After making numerous trips to Japan, in 2011 she entered a program at a design school in Tokyo. Ekström graduated with flying colors in March of this year, and almost before the ink on her diploma had dried, she accomplished her manga debut in Japan with the release of her book. The sequel to this manga was released in September. Ekström’s voice takes on a tone of excitement as she talks about her newfound success. “I never imagined I would become a manga artist right away,” she says. “I thought I would use my schooling to get a job at a Japanese design company and then draw comics in my free time.

We in the West differentiate between “comics” and “graphic novels,” as the former conjures up images of bespectacled nerds lining up to purchase the latest issue of a Deadpool comic, and the latter brings to mind more serious material like Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir Fun Home or Art Spiegelman’s Maus, which, respectively, deal with heavy subjects like sexuality and the trauma of a Holocaust survivor.
