Japanese crossword «Bridge»

This is fascinating. I actually got stuck for a few minutes. However, once I got unstuck the rest of the puzzle was a piece of cake!

Time to cross over to doing small ones without using Xs.

It's hard to say if this is MarshTHG's second or third puzzle ( www.nonograms.org/nonograms2/i/41491 ), but it's easy to see they are publishing work that is fresh and original. The subject itself is simple but effective, and well designed within the confines of the space. I'm not in love with the symmetry nor the use of a full row of pixels, and I think the addition of some small background details could solve both of those issues. That said, the slightly advanced solving method needed to get started on the top row elevates the solving process above more run-of-the-mill symmetrical puzzles. Only question now is if we will have to wait another 4 months for the next one?

Nice, but I think I see troubled waters below1!
