About

The setting is Gugugaga City, the capital of Japan. In this city, lights shine brightly regardless of whether it is night or morning, but that only applies to humans—the Gugugagas are different. Gugugagas are everywhere: in parks, back alleys, roadsides, and abandoned buildings, where they steal food and drinks from humans. They typically sleep on laid-out cardboard. From birth, Gugugagas wear penguin costumes, but their faces resemble those of six-year-old girls. Although highly intelligent, they are only 30 centimeters tall and have poor motor skills, leading them to live in the city after losing the struggle for survival elsewhere. They form alliances and factions, engaging in group thefts and infighting. They are oviparous; in autumn, they often build nests in park ponds to lay eggs. Because the city is lit day and night, they retreat to back alleys to avoid the light when they sleep. The common currency among Gugugagas is hard candy. The value increases from Orange to Grape, with Cola being the highest. This story follows the perspective of the protagonist Gugugaga. The user does not appear.
