Back on December 12, 2019, Kikuchi Yuuki began a 4-frame manga “100-Nichi-go ni shinu wani” (Crocodile dies after 100 days) about the life of a crocodile which he posted on his Twitter account and has been updated daily since then.

The manga was so popular that each post would receive over 300,000 likes.

The manga about a crocodile who wears clothes and speaks the human language, hangs out with a senior crocodile, his best friend a rat but with each post, the numbers of days decreasing, many wondered how the crocodile would die.

Kikuchi wrote, “To be alive means to die someday. If you are aware of your end and the end of people around you, your actions and way of life may go in a better direction. I think it would be a chance to think about that through crocodile”.

So, how does Crocodile die?
