crows
Apparently even crows aren’t immune to the “I put this card in my deck because I think the character looks cool!” weakness.
Local citizen takes the law into her own hands and catches the prepaid card-stealing bird, but lands in trouble with the authorities herself.
Don’t mistake crows for being dumb birds. They will remember your face and never forget you!
It might sound like a strange coupling, but there’s actually a valid reason for this six-part collection!
Anyone who has ever put out garbage in Japan has no doubt encountered the country’s monster crows, which put the little black birds the rest of the world knows to shame. They can grow up to 23 inches (58.5 centimeters) in lengh, and they will rip apart any garbage you put out if you don’t take all the proper precautions in sealing and covering it.
But since it’s Japan, even the giant crows and their fellow rat pests aren’t safe from being transformed into cute little gachapon capsule toys. They’re a huge hit online, apparently for people who love reenacting the times when their trash was torn to shreds.
