Damedol to Sekai ni Hitori Dake no Fan - Ch. 31 - His Weakness

[Esgar]

Calling it now that Urumin's gonna make alllll sorts of plans to impress Kimiya that immediately go out the window when he shows up with a six-pack from fanatical swim practicing and her brain promptly overheats

Also 100% he loses his glasses at the beach somehow and ends up leaning in very close to obliterate the rest of her composure

Calm down bro, at this point these predictions are basically spoilers lmao

Swimsuit arc swimsuit arc.

 

[VerticalVectors]

Yay, time for the slutty bikinis!!!

 

[animetuber2199]

I’ve made up my mind that half of the reason why urumin doesn’t have more fans is bc the fanbase is like us, they delight in watching the ship sail and wouldn’t dare to cuck best ship

 

[2hot4you]

Not a single idol group would do an offline meetup on a beach in a bikini together with their fans

 

[_Lugh]

Mouu- Tsukiae!
(JUST DATE ALREADY! I said it that way first because I like the sound of it in Japanese better. Punchier)

Yes, the power of LOVE.

 

[motheblackcat]

Jeebs! About time we went back to those two!

 

[KitRagnell]

I'm convinced she has no fans at this point because everyone wants the two of them to hook up and don't want to get in the way of that.

 

[Kaizerdist]

Back to that sweet stuff I love so much.

Augh, I know she only has kimiya, and they're underground but man pg.13 really hit it home there. It's funny but also is quite a jab. The other option is people getting in the way of UruOta so Im cool with it.

Thanks for the chapter.

He can just get some prescription goggles with his BLACK credit card smh.

If you have bad enough eyes you kinda need these for skin diving.

It varies according to the rules of each idol group and even the specific event. But generally speaking, you either buy a ticket directly or purchase some specific merch on site (usually laid out in front of the meeting booth area) and gain a ticket as a bonus.

That ticket is usually good for one photo, as the event is usually framed as a photo taking event. You queue up on front of the booth of the idol you want to meet, then when it's your turn you get to take the photo. During that time you may also get a bit of time to chat with the idol...how long depends, and usually for popular groups it's only a few seconds, plus a handshake (which is sometimes framed as the main objective instead) and that's it. For underground idols like Urumin it can be up to a minute or so.

Generally, the ticket is only good for that day and you have to get it onsite, except in the case of big idol groups with promotional campaigns before the event. You can get more than one, but since the ticket is actually used for a "photo", presenting multiple tickets usually just means you want all the photos at once and you don't get more time with the idol. If you do want more time, you'll have to queue again. If nothing else, it's to have courtesy for everyone else queueing up.

Speaking of courtesy, idol culture is pretty big on that, which is why while it's comically exaggerated, other fans going out of their way for OtaUru isn't that weird. Examples that we have already seen in this manga are true irl, like giving a ticket to someone you know is a fan of a certain idol if they may lose out on meeting them otherwise. Or in the live, pushing fans of a certain idol to the front when their oshi is in focus. I've heard at least one story when a guy who was known to be an idol's no.1 fan was carried to the front and hoisted up by the crowd, presumably all strangers.

Hardcore idol fans understand what things like that means for other fans. That's the more wholesome half of the culture ppl don't usually know about.

The first part of this sounds like buying a photo op or autograph at a comicon.

 

[wallsg]

is she going to get to teach him how to swim and freak out about how it involves holding his hands?

He'll likely end up saving her from drowning, somehow.

 

[casual_reader1234]

He can't swim but can baits her at perfection

One might say...he's a master ba-

 

[wallsg]

I'm glad that Urimin will have her bodyguard there. He already saved her once from the guy filming.

 

[wallsg]

One might say...he's a master ba-

Master Baiter Takagi-san.

Yes, the power of LOVE.

I would have said something like an author (and readers), but yeah that too

 

[VerdeFPiuma]

"Times up"
"Oh no! walks away Anyway..."

 

[DLRevan]

The first part of this sounds like buying a photo op or autograph at a comicon.

It essentially that is what it is. But it's a very well-oiled and standardized practice in the idol industry/culture. Handshake, photo, maybe time for a word, and you're out of there, it's very fast for the shortest ones.

 

[Doutorfunga]

We can only hope
