CATDOLL: A geek spent 1 million to buy a bicycle that looks just like the one in the comics. He is indeed a wealthy man.

Every year, some weird things happen at the Japanese doujin exhibition Comic Market, and this year's C91 is no exception. According to feedback from the scene, a otaku actually spent 1 million yen to buy a bicycle that was the same model as a comic character.

One of the heroines of "Long Rider Girl" Takamiya Saki

Speaking of "Naga Riders", the Chinese audience may be unfamiliar with the work, but as a new series in October 2016, it is very popular among Japanese comic fans. The original work of "Naga Riders" is a comic about female college students participating in competitive cycling. In addition to setting up many youthful and cute female characters, the various models of bicycles that appear in the play are also the objects of enthusiasm of fans.

Long before the opening of the C91 exhibition, the official of "Long Rider Girls" announced that it would launch a bicycle with the same style as the MK01, one of the main characters of the game, "Saki Takamiya", and marked an astonishing price of 1 million yen (about 59,000 yuan)! From the appearance, this anime-themed bicycle is not much different from an ordinary mountain bike, and its performance also follows the standard configuration of general models. After being crowned as "the same model as Saki Takamiya", the value of this bicycle instantly doubled.

Such a bicycle with an astonishing price tag actually became a hot commodity among the rich at the C91 event. According to a tweet from a netizen, a otaku happily paid 1 million yen to buy the bicycle and happily took a photo with the staff of "Long Rider Girls". Because the bicycle is very precious, the buyer said that he "would not use it" and would display it as a display item.

Recalling some examples of "high-priced peripherals" such as life-size figures and precious metal figures that are hot-selling, this bicycle is probably one of the manifestations of the power of the rich. On Japanese forums, many netizens were "envious, jealous and hateful" about this, saying "the bicycles in bicycle shops that cost hundreds of thousands of yen will cry after hearing this", "I hope the performance of this bicycle is worth the price", "Will you regret it after leaving the venue?"
