Entertainment and leisure are vital for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Conventions are festivals of lowered guards. You dress up as your favorite vulnerable character. You share hotel rooms with strangers from Discord servers. You drink at open bars. You network for jobs or collaborations. All of this, without the usual workplace or social rigidities, makes cons fertile ground for boundary-crossing.
The “con fight” isn’t always loud. It’s often internal: Do I correct this popular artist who’s tracing my work? Do I report the staff member who made a lewd comment about my cosplay? Do I leave a panel early because someone won’t stop touching my wings?
As an entertainment product, the series occupies a specific niche that bridges standard manga serialization and adult entertainment.
