Luckiefun's Restaurant [Daily Photo #806]



New restaurant Luckiefun's has opened near Sello (Leppävaarankatu 12), and today we checked its lunch-time menu out! Very nice selection of sushi and other East Asian foods like miso and curry tofu. Vegan meals are clearly marked. They have many restaurants in Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo, Turku and Tampere, check the list here.

That seaweed salad was sooooo delicious!

My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi, translated by Jocelyne Allen
[Japan]

“The heart-rending autobiographical manga that’s taken the internet by storm!

My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness is an honest and heartfelt look at one young woman’s exploration of her sexuality, mental well-being, and growing up in our modern age. Told using expressive artwork that invokes both laughter and tears, this moving and highly entertaining single volume depicts not only the artist’s burgeoning sexuality, but many other personal aspects of her life that will resonate with readers.”
