Japanese crossword «Ginger»

quite tricky but totally worth it :DD

Interesting subject and very well executed. Thank you!

Usually I try to use logic across the rows and columns and only fill in a square if I know it's correct. With this puzzle, since the outline is usually only one block thick, that was super tricky to do! I ended up giving up on my method and just going down the columns and filling blocks in according to the numbers at top. Phew! Nice picture though!
