text: When Densha discovers that he may not need to abandon his treasures, he makes another kind of sacrifice, the decision to expose himself to potential ridicule by coming out as an otaku. We are obviously meant to view this gesture as a genuinely brave act, underlined as it is by the admiring chorus of voices from the 2channelers, who thank him for his courage and praise him for his ability to gambaru, a term that connotes perseverance and endurance in the face of challenges and even potential humiliation.
