All those fans are opening their wallets to buy otaku oriented merchandise, which means every yen fans leave behind is ending up in someone else’s pocket, and following this summer’s Comiket, Enako’s pockets are especially heavy.
Enako’s popularity, and profits, continue to grow as fans form their longest line ever to buy her photo albums.
Of course, regardless of what haters or disapproving parents may say, dropping a wad of cash at Comiket isn’t actually throwing it away.
Again, that’s just from merchandise sales, and so the figure doesn’t include what Enako earned cosplaying as a spokesmodel at other booths during Comiket.
