Takashi knew absolutely none of this until he got the text message from his niece asking him to pick up some limited-edition merch at the Sutopuri Culture Festival fan event, prompting him to ask fellow SoraNews24 reporter Ikuna Kamezawa “Umm…do you know what Sutopuri is?”
It turns out she’s a fan of Satomi, whose image color is pink, while Ikuna’s niece’s heart belongs to blue boy Koron.
Sutopuri is the official nickname for Strawberry Prince, an idol unit that straddles the line between anime characters, virtual YouTubers, and an actual boy band.
And so it was that Takashi found himself at the entrance to the Sutopuri Summer Strawberry Culture Festival.
