Ballpark de Tsukamaete!

[Ryllharu]

Ruriko sporting a NIRVANYA shirt and getting upset at being called childish by Sara the high-schooler was probably the highlight besides Sun-Shiro knowing he couldn't let the home team fans down (including Ruriko).

Part of me wants to know a little more about why Ruriko decided to apply to the job considering how little she knows about baseball and also that she wasn't really prepared to do the "selling herself" part of the job that first week (so she doesn't fit into many of the typical cases for applying as an uriko), but I also like the mystique that Ruriko is just this significant driver to the overall MotorSuns community that has pushed everyone to be better without having any intention of doing so at all. She's just a ray of sunshine causing a cascade of positive shifts.

That article is a little biased towards the end, trying to play at some "problematic culture" that doesn't exist. Many of the vendors apply to the job to launch their careers in other entertainment/media fields precisely because it is a very accessible way to build a social media fanbase. It's tough work, but getting exposure to hundreds of fans can build a following very quickly. The underground idol industry and factory mega-idol groups are way worse. It alluded to it a little bit, there's nothing stopping men from applying, but women apply at a ratio of 100-1.
