Are there different ethnicities in Yamaku?
Like German, Russian, British, etc.
I was wondering, because there are chances of crippled foreign exchange students... Right?

Lilly is the only official foreign student as far as I know. There could very well be others though. If there are any blonde people in the classroom CG (I can't recall any) then they are probably foreign too.

At least Finnish, Scottish and South African in addition to Japanese. (and lilly)

Is Molly still canon Indian?

It's basically her and Lilly. Who's non-Japanese nationality is somewhat of a secret.

You probably won't answer this question, but i'll try my luck anyway.

Lilly and Akira are the Scottish ones, aren't they?
I say this because 'Akira' is an anglicized (female, of course) Scottish name. It's quite flimsy as evidence, though, I have to admit.

EDIT: Oh, I guess Suriko's post somewhat denies me access to such information. Ah well. I'll stand by my theory, thank you.

Yeah I would peg Lily as being British. Maybe French.

But we don't really see many non-Japanese. Not surprising I guess

I was hoping for Russian people.
Wasn't Lilly a returnee or was I just watching too much Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei.

I had thought that Lilly (and Akira) we're at least born (or raised... or both) in Japan. They speak it well enough it would seem. Based on last names, they have a Japanese father, and on genetics, a very tall caucasian mother. Perhaps they've travelled to (insert mother's home country here) a lot, and are well cultured because of it.

Also, 'nationality' just means the country that a person is from, and the above explanation would make Lilly, Akira, and everyone else in the game, of Japanese nationality. I think the OP's post is more about ethnicity.

Blast, you beat me to it. I was just about to mention Kaere/Kaede. They even look similar.

I actually attribute Lilly's "height" (she's not that tall) to being of Germanic or Norse in origin.

But that's my guess.

Thanks bro, fixed.
I forgot what it was called.

And then it turns out Lilly is a descendant of Maria from Sakura Wars

Which would explain so much about Akira

Helsinki's name is the capital of Finland!
