Yawaraka Tank ~ Soft Tank ~ Shitajiki


Yawaraka (soft/fragile) Tank is a vulnerable tank character that seems to continuously be meeting with bombs, cat attacks, bruises, pointy sticks, and general decay. The illustration style is funky and upbeat -- despite all its bumps and bruises Yawaratank keeps rolling on, seemingly fearless in the face of impending injury.
