Where will it end? It seems like the Japanese internet still can’t get enough of the kabe-don phenomenon.
Over the past year, we’ve seen the trend evolve from the romantic aspirations of high school girls everywhere to incredibly intense displays of affection. This time, we’re proud to bring you 12 more glorious tweets of the kabe-don in action–and don’t think that humans are the only ones ‘walling’ it up!
It’s nice to see some animals besides our usual cats getting some press time–even inanimate objects seem to be in on the trend! Which of the following kabe-don shots do you think deserves the grand prize?
