Upon hearing that the latest issue of FLASH magazine would include a special shoot with Idol Master seiyuu 今井 麻美 / Asami Imai, who voices Chihaya Kisaragi, one otaku fan took matters to the extreme:
He bought no less than 29 copies of the magazine, demonstrating a rather disturbing level of obsession; this “only” came to ¥11,020 (29*¥380), which in absolute terms may not be a huge outlay, but when we consider only a few pages actually concern the seiyuu in any way we are left with an inefficient choice of mega-purchase indeed.
Better or worse than the Hiiragi collector?
Creepy little bastard…..
What’s the paper obsession crap this otaku
A true fan would have bought at least 30.
Fucking casuals.
I will definitely do the same if the magazine did one for Iguchi Yuka!!!
This is like, one of those things I find interesting about Japanese culture… or maybe, otaku-only culture?
If you think carefully about it, the whole thing is pretty rational.
He’s a fan, liked what the magazine did, decided to buy several issues to show his appreciation.
So, with that, he’s increasing the issue’s sale as much as he can, so it reflects on the magazine policy, and maybe influences on other future shootings from the same series/idol.
OR, he may just be some crazy pervert.
