Tokyo Otaku Mode, a company that deals in anime, manga, games and fashion has designed its own virtual currency
The company says that the virtual currency will be labelled as "Otaku coin". It aims to connect anime fans to the creators of Japanese content, thus offering consumers the opportunity to support the industry.
And consumers won't have to get off their seats in order to earn these coins apparently. The company promises that earning so called "Otaku coin" will be easy and fans will just have to continue to do what they always do and they can earn them - which is to watch anime, share content, and write reviews.
"Otaku coin" is expected to be launched in the summer of 2018.
Looks like just about anything can "virtually" get your "rich" these days. Watching anime included.
