Mandarake Anime Store is offering money to anyone who can help catch some vandals

In the early morning of October 22nd, around 4:30 am, a group of men approached the outside of the Mandarake Anime Store in the Nipponbashi neighborhood of Osaka.

The store closes at 8 pm and does not open until noon the next day, so the team had already gone home, but video of the group was captured by a security camera that points to the parking lot and borders the store.

After making sure no one was watching, one of the men grabbed a can of paint and started spraying the back wall of the Mandarake Anime Store. His friends also joined in vandalizing the store.
