The Japanese have some of the best imports, including the anime and the pop-culture scene, but when the clock strikes midnight on the 1st of April, all hell will surely break loose!
This article features some of the Japanese anime, manga and pop-culture scene bringing out the big guns for April Fool’s Day.
Is the Order a Rabbit?
ご注文はうさぎですか?
