Cannibalism apparently isn't illegal in Japan (warning, some pictures may turn your stomach):

I can't find any reason to ban it, except maybe the risk of prion diseases, but...

^ To be expected, clearly Japanese men wouldn't be lumberjacks.

It's been a few days ago, but still relevant in the light of the growing draconian copyright enforcement legislation: Anonymous Cleaning Service

I don't get why Japanese are so obsessed with Finland (though I can see how winsome we are) but that's been a long established fact, a statistical anomaly in anime world. as for non-otaku stuff I still lolwut'd pretty hard at this Japanese punk band singing songs in finnish for god knows what reason

But that is not the real reason for this post

This is

Kolkka of the frozen wind, Snow Fairy and White Death

Year 1939. Neuvosto Union (Venäjä Army) started invasion of small Republic of Suomi with intention to claim its territory. Armed with marksmanship skills and disguised as a man boastful pretty girl Kolkka joins Suomi military to protect her homeland against Venäjä Army. She gets assigned to platoon of company commander Juutiainen where she meets Simo Häyhä, nicknamed "the White Death". Using bold attack attempt by Juutiainen and superhuman sniper skills of Häyhä Venäjä's large army gets slaughtered.

Boastful Kolkka rapidly grows as a genius marksman thanks to her tremendous sense and inborn, strong-minded personality. Soon in front onf Heini and Kurukka stands Venäjä Army's most dangerous woman snipers, Natalia and Misha!

Taking place in the historical war of aggression "Winter War" a story of ultrastrong genius sniper girl is born.

note1: Nuuvosto Renpou is clearly "Neuvostoliitto", finnish word for USSR
note2: Venäjä aka Russia in finnish
note3: Apparently the author is ex-SDFer
note4: it drove me crazy to figure out what "Kurukka" was supposed to be but now I'm sure she's named after Sulo Kolkka

ANIME FUCKING WHEN

[Fireball]

Well, we get cute girls in tanks you get cute girls as snipers. Hurray Axis powers!

If she doesn't get her face blown off I'll be damned.

Moeblob pal of Simo Häyhä getting her face blown off is about as unlikely as it gets

Speaking of tanks I sure hope there's some of that molotov cocktail business even if sniping is the main point. :P

I guess I should blame Strike Witches for this LN

[Dr. Nick]

Man, Commando comics sure have changed. (Speaking of which, Korkeajännitys cover photoshop where?)

[Alaska Slim]

But Simo Häyhä was like 5'3'', if this girl is even shorter than him, I fail to see how she could deal with the reco-

Ah f*ck it.

But in war though, I do attest, watch out for the short ones.

Whether in the air, in a tank, or with a gun, short people seem to rack up the high body counts.

Though short stature seems to be reason for shame with a certain nation.

Almost a working prototype from Sudobashi Heavy Industry.

^ Meh, I don't mean to split hairs, but I'd call that more of a "proof of concept" than a "prototype", there's doesn't seem to be enough functionality to be considered the latter.

That said; very cool, nice find. B)
