TV Show Discovers that a Man was Keeping Otaku Girl in His House

TV Show Discovers that a Man was Keeping Otaku Girl in His House

TV Show Discovers that a Man was Keeping Otaku Girl in His House! Remember the anime HigeHiro? It was an anime that told the story of a high school girl who ran away from home and was living on the streets when she was found by the protagonist. He then decided to take her to his house and took care of her.

This is a fairly common story in Japan, where many girls run away from home and end up sheltered in the apartments of older men, which is a crime, and there have recently been cases of arrests related to this.

Today’s story is in a similar vein but with some differences.

It’s worth noting that the girl’s parents know that she ran away and is with the guy. It was also mentioned that they are not dating but are just friends living together.

At the time, the reactions from the Japanese public were diverse. There were comments saying that they were practically already a couple, others expressing envy and wanting to date a tall girl like her. Others were surprised to see a pure friendship between a man and a woman.
