This Italian Girl Has Become Such a Freeloader - Ch. 2

What stereotypes do the japanese have of the italians besides being voracious flirts?
 
I have a hunch that she's either already engaged to him without him knowing or she will get engaged with him.
 
@Meijin You could read about the adventures of the axis powers Hetalia or something? I reckon Italy is featured in there...
 
Thanks for the chappies!

the power of an oversized shirt is strong

i thought it was the germans that had white hair in anime/etc.
 
I know it's just Japan being Japan, but it's weird to me how anyone from another country tends to get totally odd hair colors. Blonde Americans? Okay, not that unusual, but they're a minority for sure. True blonde Italians or Greeks (most Mediterranean countries, tbh, though those are about the only two Japan seems to know about), which I see a lot of in manga? Have met literally less than a dozen in my life. Same with blonde Brits. More common with the French and Germans, and again moreso from the Nordic and Baltic countries, but to read a manga you'd swear no one from a generally ethnically white country has black or dark brown hair. Blonde everywhere, a lot of silver, and sprinklings of red hair, but nothing black or dark brown. I don't notice the same level of fetishization of hair colors based on country of origin in most other comic cultures, so it just throws me off every time.
 
@theroadstopshere cuz manga/anime faces are generic. There's no difference in facial structure of a Japanese and an American. So the only way to tell the reader one character is foreign is their hair color
