lucky Bags 2019
My mama always said life is like an Akihabara junk shop fukubukuro. You never know what you’re going to get.
A seemingly innocent bag of random anime and game merch became the trigger for a peculiar addiction.
Pocket monsters Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur also join in the fun for this hugely popular collection.
Free coupons and exclusive merchandise all wrapped up in a cute reusable brown paper takeout bag.
