The main cast walks toward the event venue outside Tokyo Big Sight, capturing the excitement of arriving at a major otaku gathering.
This scene appears near the beginning of the story as the group heads toward a major doujin and otaku culture event venue. Everyone is excited, slightly rushed, and full of anticipation as they walk toward the exhibition hall, creating the feeling that something lively and chaotic is about to begin. The moment helps establish the series’ everyday focus on manga shop staff and otaku culture, with a bright, energetic mood like a gathering point just before entering the main stage of the event. The anime scene is clearly based on the pedestrian area around Tokyo Big Sight, with its wide walkways, modern exhibition-hall architecture, and the open atmosphere typical of a large convention venue. Although the anime simplifies some background details and signage so the characters stand out more, the scale of the site, road layout, and surrounding urban landscape remain highly recognizable. In real life, visitors will usually see more guidance signs, event notices, railings, greenery, and temporary facilities, so the anime is very accurate in overall atmosphere even if the real location looks busier and more detailed.
