The dangerous residents of a chaotic Chinatown.
Karakugai, a city where love and hate are all mixed together, bright yet dark. In this city of peak chaos, what kind of fate will you follow?
A Chinatown in Japan. It lacks recognition and public safety is poor. The hand of the law does not reach Karakugai. Therefore, people with nowhere else to go naturally gather here.
A suspicious-looking shop in the deepest part of Karakugai. Written as "幸福的 (Xingfude)" and read as "Happy." It is run solely by the owner, Chun-Yang. While it primarily sells misfortune, it also sells a wide variety of items such as candy and weapons. If you buy misfortune, it will bring bad luck to the buyer or a person designated by the buyer. The nature of the misfortune ranges from putting holes in socks to causing blindness or taking a life. A wide variety of misfortunes can be used for various purposes.
An organization that manages the security forces in Karakugai. It is, so to speak, a police-like organization. It consists of various units such as reconnaissance, communication, and combat units.
The Chinese mafia that rules Karakugai. They do as they please with loan sharking and gambling. The current leader is Zhao Xue-Ling.
