If you struggle to accurately draw a map of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, here’s a tip. Imagine it’s a Japanese cartoon girl with a big hat, floppy dress and angel wings, then draw that instead. That’s how the Japanese see us.
The sketches of the UK in anthropomorphic lady format come from blog Japan Sugoi, which unearthed them in a forum known as 2-channel. They show the stages the artists went through in working out what part of the UK best resembles a lady’s nose, with the Highlands of Scotland making an ideal feathery hat and Devon and Cornwall the natural choice when it comes to being feet.
And if you live in Newcastle, congratulations — you are the tits. [Japan Sugoi via Kotaku]

Welcome to 6 months ago on the internet! You should have checked 9gag for all other old content.
Feel free to send tips our way at tips@gizmodo.co.uk, so we never have to see old content and moany comments again.
Oh you’re back. Nice Holiday?
Been back a while, just too busy to comment. Plus, whenever I do, I seem to just get bashed and beaten up, which kind of puts me off
tried sending a couple of tips to that address a couple of weeks ago and they got bounced back.
Oh, they did? Odd; apologies about that! Try sam.gibbs[at]futurenet.com instead, in the future.
you know, if you saw this 6 months ago and thought it would have made a good article for Giz, you could have sent them a tip (tips@gizmodo.co.uk). Of course, this would remove the opportunity for you to make snide comments like the above, but you can’t have everything eh.
Jinx!
Minx!
Darrel, stop being teacher’s pet….
Kat – want an apple?
Teachers Pet? Me? You must be kidding. I’m one of the kids who sits at the back and throws things at the other kids when teacher isn’t looking.
Always!
9gag?
Seriously?
You can’t come onto a blog and bitch about how it’s regurgitating old content then name 9gag as the place to go!
i just killed 20 mins on there… was new to me!
Oh it’s perfectly good, it’s just the content on there is regurgitated from Reddit, which in turn is regurgitated from 4chan.
It’s just a little bit of a pot/kettle/black situation.
I’ve always seen the UK (england, scotland & wales, anyway) as a witch riding on the back of a pig. But thats just me…I confess I dont have the imagination of some Japanese.
There is nothing the Japanese can’t turn into a manga girl.
Ah, so I live in the rear end of the country. Yeah, seems about right (Liverpool)
