Konami has again demonstrated its dual mastery of control over otaku heart/purse-strings, this time by offering a complete Love Plus seaside tourism package giving otaku the chance for some imaginary time alone with the girl of their choice.
Seaside tourist trap Atami, in Shizuoka, plays host to the event, which lasts two days and a night and includes a thrilling bus (which is of course adorned with one of the three girls) tour of the town.
Each girl gets her own tour event, suggesting availability of the Nene tickets may be strained.
Of more interest is the fact that the event includes 10 “AR spots,” where the happy otaku can indulge in an augmented reality schoolgirl dating fantasy:
One otaku reported being offered a complementary double room for him and his virtual girlfriend:
The price for this semi-virtual excursion? A mere ¥39,800 ($450).
Welcome.
This is the future.
It will just get better from here.
Another reason to admire Japanese.
Wow, that’s an unusually good price.
I’m sorry…
I DON’T GET OIT.
same here i dont get why this is so popular
This would be so cool if it wasn’t used for such a disturbing purpose.
