Okoye is a crab wrangler who’s very attached to his fighting crab. One evening, they win the Nedzu crab championship, but on the way home Okoye becomes fascinated by a riddle he reads on a paper lantern floating down a small stream near Nedzu village. The love riddle leads him meet a young woman named Efe but it angers his fighting crab who abandons them, jealous of the attention it doesn’t earn from Okoye that evening. After a brief romance, the crab begins impersonating Efe for Okoye — who believes that the crab is, in fact, Efe. Okoye will need the help of his allies. You’ll need to read the story to see how that will happen.
