Hi, seeking the name of 2 mangas I have read, but just cannot remember-

1st- About a marriage proposal/trial marriage from scandinavian/half sami tribe man to a military woman officer, in the far northern reaches. World is reality based around scandinavian culture (guessing finnish), time period post industrial revolution, he is lord of the area. I remember it has progressed very far story wise, so just trying to remember the name so I can get caught up.

2nd- short 1 or 2 volume of manga about girls and the struggles of growing up in the modern world- dealing with being outsider, lonely, etc. Introspective, kind to its characters, character models are atypical- closest models that come to mind would be similar to the manga 8-gatsu-soda-sui.

thanks for any help that can be given, it's much appreciated!

First one should be Hokuou Kizoku to Moukinzuma no Yukiguni Karigurashi.

~4400 manga completed
~1700 ongoing...

For the 2nd, perhaps Zassou-tachi yo Taisho o Idake?

that's a BINGO on both! Thanks so much! Nothing like the sweet release of endorphins or watever when u finally find the thing you are looking for such a long time =D Thanks a bunch to u both!
