Detail, he is a man. This topic generated a number of comments online:

“*Male”

“I feel a strong attachment and preference, this is what Japan is all about. It’s okay for it to be male, right?”

“The Self-Defense Forces are coming to a doujin event? lol”

“There are definitely furries in Shizuoka Prefecture.”

“I like that they’re including annotations.”

“There are already situations where they have to explicitly state that the character is male in the bottom left corner of the screen, right…?”

“The Self-Defense Forces…? Isn’t it supposed to be defense only? What’s with the offensive approach?”

“There are already quite a few fan arts, it’s hilarious.”

“It’s quite insane, isn’t it?”

“This is definitely an invitation to lewdness.”

“I can’t help but laugh at the fact that they’re participating in KemoKetto.”
