Bright summer weather here in Japan—but no sunshine for the denizens of Numazu, Japan, who are walking around with manhole-sized holes in their hearts.
Last week, we reported on a few maniacal Love Live! anti-fans vandalizing Numazu’s Sunshine!!-themed manhole covers—or at least pretending to. But since then, one or more real vandals have appeared, doing serious damage to several of the kawaii sewer covers.

No more of this, said Nuzamu. The city has removed all nine manhole covers indefinitely while they investigate this rash of anti-Liver terrorism.
Councilman Ryu Ozawa had a few pointed words for the vandals on his Twitter account:
Listen… think about how you’re using your life. You’re wasting your life spray painting manhole covers. If you don’t snap out of it, if you don’t shift your way of thinking, you’re going to have a pointless life until you die.
もうね・・・己の命の使い方考えろよ・・・。
あんたは自分の命削ってマンホールにスプレーかけるのか。
自分の殻から抜け出さないと、「何かのために」っていう考えにシフトしないと、死ぬまで虚しい人生送るんだよ?— 沼津市議 小澤 隆(おざわ りゅう) (@llllnumazullll) June 5, 2018
May peace and sunshine quickly return to Nuzamu.
