Seeking Shadow carried the Ion Sword "Shadow Kill" on her back and dressed like a female ninja who roamed the night, her body outfitted with simple protective gear, attempting to ensure the safety of the dedicated comic enthusiasts.
Because of Nidelaide's influence, Seeking Shadow understood why they were so obsessed.
The answer was "continuity."
In their economically challenging middle school days, anime was affordable and readily available escapism, allowing them to shift attention away from the pressures of schoolwork and social relationships.
This habit, fueled by continuity, lasted into adulthood as their financial means grew. Hobbyists not only followed anime to the end, but also tried to complete original manga, light novels, and games, purchased merchandise, engaged in fan creations, and donned cosplay costumes to express their love for the works in various ways.
