<p>Trash is a Kusoge-hunter; a freelancer who dives through the dozens of used electronics shops in the Japanese geek capitol of Akihabara, looking for rare items to flip. Kusoge, or shitty-games, can fetch a good price, especially over internet auctions, and Trash knows all the secret shops.</p> <p>He has reluctantly agreed to meet in person with one of his best customers, an American otaku entrepreneur. He needs Trash to help negotiate a new kind of deal, something he has never done before. Meetings IRL are not something Trash is comfortable with, but the payday could really help him out of a jam.</p> <p>A twist in the deal will drag Trash into an adventure far outside of his comfort zone and very much against his will, but it might give him a chance at a reward far beyond his expectations.</p> <p>You are invited to join Trash on on a journey from the used game shops of Akihabara to the fashion trendmakers of Shibuya. More real than travel books and YouTube videos; an immersive dive into the real streets of a Tokyo most people never knew existed.</p> <p>A new chapter every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.</p> <p>[Particiant in the April 2024 Royal Road Writathon challenge]</p> <p>Original book cover includes composited works under CC Attribution licenseAttribution to Sarah (ditch oh echo), (Flickr)Attribution to Guilhem Vellut, (Flickr)</p> <p>All rights reserved.</p>
