Click here for a message from Professor Fujita▼ It seems that 10 years have passed since I drew Love is Hard for Otaku. What kind of otaku were you 10 years ago, and what kind of swamp are you immersed in now? To express my gratitude to all the otaku fans who have supported me since then, I have drawn a lot of Otakoi members for the first time in a while! We hope to see you again at Matsuya Ginza. Fujita In the exhibition, we will look back on famous scenes filled with laughter and heart-throb, featuring unique characters such as the otaku couple Narumi Momose and Hirotaka Nito, through original color illustrations from the manga and videos.
