🐸Love means never having to say I'm sorry (I poisoned you)"🐸

...or something like that. This Valentine's Day there are three love stories from Japan. On the first, a man moves on after becoming a widower (kind of), on the second, two frogs fall out of love...with a place, and on the third, the whole world is in love with a geisha.

😈 The Creature: Maikubi (舞首)

Three heads that don't so much as dance as they do bite each other and sink ships.
