While in a different albeit longer story titled “Wandering, Wondering,” the protagonist winds up falling asleep on the train. In the first story, the protagonist is innocently chasing a crab down a street until they find its owner, a seafood clerk and a price tag attached to the crab. The stories Panpanya tell in the manga all range from cute and funny to eerie and mysterious. As if the stories are the main focus and not the characters. It’s as if Panpanya only wishes to have the main character just for the sake of having one. Which is the part of the manga that intrigued me the most. Most times, they can be seen as a student while sometimes, they can be seen driving and going to work. Sometimes the character can be seen wearing a skirt other times they can be seen wearing regular trousers. The only constant part of the manga is the protagonist, an unnamed character with an average haircut, an unspecified age, and an unspecified gender. These stories don’t follow a linear progression as each of them are all separate stories of their own with not a lot of consistency. A collection of 18 stories, all of which range in different themes. From publisher Denpa and the artist Panpanya, comes An Invitation from a Crab.
