Where can I find free literature on foreign languages ​​- Estonian, Finnish, Japanese?

Good afternoon.

I am doing a short review of these languages. Interested in local folklore, popular books, manga.
I try to find any literary material on the Internet in these languages. However, no matter how hard I try, I can't find anything. For a very long time of googling, I could not find anything at all.

Basically, search results lead to educational material, or stores with paid books in Russian.
For example, the query "fiction in Estonian" leads to sites that sell Estonian literature in Russian.
I also did not find samples of Japanese manga in the public domain. Everywhere they demand to buy it.

Surely there are resources where you can read books in other languages?

1) in most other countries, copyrights and copyright infringement are more closely monitored, so they are harder to find
2) the most effective way to search is to create a "native query", translate the search phrase into the desired language and make a request in it. Books in Estonian or Japanese in the original, when requested in Russian or English, simply will not get a rating in the search results in order to display relevant results on the first page. She herself used this technique for other languages ​​and books / magazines.
3) duckduckgo can display results that Google bans for violating rights
