Featuring SPY×FAMILY, Oshi no Ko, FF16, Blue Archive, BEASTARS, Takopi's Original Sin, Minky Momo, Orange Range, & more!

During the new year, families around Japan enjoy all sorts of games from the badminton-like hanetsuki paddle game and kite-flying to a pin-the-tail-type game called fukuwarai, board games, and karuta cards. See if you can spot some of them in the New Year's greetings below:
