Short Japanese Culture Questions

Next question:

:newspaper: Newspapers usually have a bit of ā€œfunā€ content after the actual news articles, for example, comics, crossword puzzles, sudoku, simple recipes, quizzes (that might require you to listen to a certain radio show for the questions), historical anecdotes and comments about local places from readers…are among some of the things I’ve seen in Swedish newspapers over the years.

But, what about Japanese newspapers? (I’m thinking paper editions here, though I guess, some of this content might have also migrated online (?))

Does anyone here regularly buy Japanese newspapers or subscribe to them, and can tell us about the ā€œoddā€ content besides news in the paper? :slight_smile: :newspaper_roll:

For example, do Japanese newspapers have comics rather than manga in them, or is there nothing of the sort? (for example political comics) :thinking:

What about food recipes? Puzzles and quizzes?
