Announcement


[T/N: file name: muminnanokore.jpg = “Is this really Moomin!?”]

I’m really sorry to have kept you all waiting for such a long time!
I plan to continue the Halloween event for a short period starting on 2nd November and also post up this year’s Halloween costumes.


I’m only going to wrap things up with a little extra on the side, so this year I will be drawing and posting requests at my normal update pace.

But since I’d feel left out if I don’t do anything on 31st, I plan to post a comic strip that I’ve done previously, but it’s a serious story that’s not festive at all…

Some guys I doodled


【Bierßen】 (Beer + Prussia)
You’ll find him in festivals. He likes to make people drink beer that he’s already taken a sip from.


【Saunaland】 (Sauna + Finland)
You’ll find him in saunas, and he likes to make the effective temperature really high by pouring water over hot rocks non-stop.

[T/N: Effective temperature is a measurement of the combined effects of temperature, humidity, and air movement on the sensation of warmth/cold felt by the human body.]

Denmark and Sweden’s friendly relations

■Denmark and Sweden’s friendly relations

Sweden and Denmark, who had who knows how many fights over a long period of time, were countries whose foundations were based on very similar industries. However, whereas Denmark deepened his relations with other countries and was able to depend on their cooperation, Sweden chose the stoic “I’ll pull through somehow if I do my best” route.

I was reading about Nordic history on the plane, and Sweden’s stoicness is really amazing! I’ll be updating the Halloween manga now!

Prisoner

I wonder, if the orange uniforms of American prisoners are so popular as cool Halloween costumes, couldn’t it happen that actual prisoners would mingle in with the crowds?

The spirit of the apple tree in Mir castle that the owner ordered to cut down is still revenging herself by luring people into the lake…

The ghost of Room 324 of a Swedish hotel is like the Romeo of a Swedish version of Romeo and Juliet.
A commoner and the daughter of a baron fell in love, however, the baron did not think that was proper, and to put an end to it had his daughter marry a man of a different status…

[T/N: This refers to the Taftaholm Herrgard hotel in Sweden. ]
