Go down a ways south of Kasugayama High in Hirasaka Ward and you'll the Uranoue Building, with a nice and welcoming family restaurant and cafe, the SUNNY DAY, on its ground floor.

Then, if you carefully look, you'll find an unmarked alleyway, the kind you might imagine yakuza fighting down in fiction. Behind this alleyway is an unassuming fire escape, at the top of which you'll find the equally unassuming Cardboard Dragon, a not terribly successful bookstore and a somewhat more successful trading card game store.

The Cardboard Dragon shopfloor is a dismal reminder of the popped bubble of the 80s -- a mixture of forty-year old gray tiles and cigarette smoke-stained concrete walls chipped and cracked at places. The rusting, unglazed windows are mostly covered by the business' logo facing the street and have seen the rise and fall of an entire economic empire.

One half of the shopfloor is dominated by bookshelves, which contain riveting titles from the fin de siecle -- sorry, last century -- rare, foreign books such as those by Paul Verlaine, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Gerhart Hauptmann, and even more local ones -- Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Yukito Ayatsuji ... oh, you were looking for something written in the last ten years? I'm sorry, you might be out of luck.

The other half is why people are actually here -- it's a thriving collectible card storefront, replete with wall to wall glass cabinets of various rare and attractive cards from the latest and most played card games. A row of long tables, even now, has students playing their choice of collectible vice, watched by a can of deodorant in the corner.

Of course, if you're *truly* in the know, you might be here for backroom deals of a more supernatural persuasion -- and that's where you can find Rumourmonger Merry and their collection of Skill Cards...

Season 1, Episode 1

I can't believe it! I was threatened by a bunch of really scary thugs from Shibuya led by Junya Kaneshiro! But, thanks to the valiant efforts of the intrepid Persona-Users, they spelunked into the depths of his Palace and called the whole deal off! Just imagine what could've happened to me... I could've been renovated into a night club, he said!!

Being a Building: It's pretty impressive, after 34 years, isn't it?
