Dagu's Everyday Card-Collecting Adventures

This novel will go premium starting with Chapter 25 on August 24, 2026. There will be a 10,000-word update that day! Undercover Public Security officer Furuya Rei suddenly receives a mysterious instant camera one day. The instruction manual that comes with it has only three sentences: First: Collect cards with this camera. If you’ve got the nerve, give it a try. Second: All rights reserved by...

He studies it in silence for a long time, but can’t find any mention of a fee. Good. It doesn’t look like a scam...

Akai: I distinctly remember confirming that Scotland had already... Furuya: Public Security business. It’s none of your concern. Sato: I distinctly remember seeing Matsuda with my own eyes when he... Furuya: Public Security business. Takagi: Date-senpai was clearly... Furuya: Public Security business. Matsuda: I distinctly saw Hagi from downstairs... Furuya: Why are you copying everyone else, Matsuda?! Kazami: So Public Security is this amazing? How come I never knew? Furuya-san must have handled everything all by himself. Furuya-san is incredible! I need to work even harder, too. 1. The whole cast is platonic, with no couples. Told mainly from Zero’s point of view, with the Public Security team on the gray side. 2. The Police Academy crew will definitely be brought back. Other characters may not be. 3. The good guys will win, no matter what!!! Theme: Making up for regrets
