2025 Bingo Reading Challenge ✅

My first bingo!!

#14 Set in a country that is not where the book’s language is spoken: 木曜日にはココアを | L28

I thought this book would fit the prompt when I found myself pondering whether or not (English-speaking) Australians have the concept of aizuchi. Other English-speaking parts of the world that I’m familiar with don’t, but maybe they do in Australia because they are closer to Japan and thus have more cultural exchange with Japan?
