I get the feeling that the manga team wanted to visit the Yokohama Showcase and claim it as a “research trip” for “reference material”.

Actually, I’d be curious if the authors were allowed to expense any special foods that way…I wonder if the complaints that Yamaoka and Kurita get from their paper are also drawn from life

It's gotten the magazine in trouble a few times.
