- If you're into anime merch, go to ANIMATE or a BOOKOFF.110Please respect copyright.PENANAnNDDFh9C8x
- Collab cafes! Basically themed cafes. I didn't go to much as food was questionable for the ones that were active, and I wasn't really into the anime that it was based on. The trip was canceled and rebooked last minute, so I didn't book the Kirby cafe. I also missed out on the Pokemon cafe... I HAD A SPOT but it kicked me out for being too slow for filling out my phone number?! what gives?110Please respect copyright.PENANAMZKMRrW1JS
