OMG. WHAT IF THE STORIES ALL GO TOGETHER AND ADD UP TO THE LIFE STORY OF A BITTER TAXI DRIVER WHO KILLED SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING. Honestly it’s probably nothing but you gotta put it together to see if this is like Japan’s Holden Caulfield leaving his life’s story on some mystery boxes in Akihabara or something. 🧐🧐🧐

This should be a slice of life anime series. You have a boy and a girl who meet one evening in an alley at the vending machines. thye open their first boxes and on subsequent nights they meet there, opening more boxes and reading the stories. Kind of like Death parade, it might work for me...

Are the messages just anonymous, and anyone can write one, and then stick it to a snack? If you find a story about a closet, let me know. Love closetwarrior.

Thoroughly loved your channel. I have a life of leisure and art fills most of my time so on occasion I check out unusual videos and found yours. You are great at keep attention with all those mystery boxes. My fascination was mostly with your ability to read the characters of their language. Speaking multiple languages always intrigued me. So, I dabbled in Spanish and Italian. I can understand certain conversations but an unable to read. Probably due to listening/learning from discs. I think they have software now that helps decipher other languages. Anyway, keep up the good work. I enjoyed it.
