The World of karakara
Welcome to the world of KARAKARA. In Japanese, KARAKARA means dried up, which is a very fitting description for the world our characters live in. You will notice that the characters in this story mostly have animal ears. In order to cope with the end of the world, humanity is adopting genetic modifications. Because of these modifications, many people are growing animal ears. Much of what has occurred in this world remains a mystery.
