Chapter 5
? ...repeating an internal mantra of I mustn’t run away, I mustn’t run away, I mustn’t run away!
Andou’s pulling a Shinji here—by which I mean, he’s quoting the internal mantra of Shinji Ikari, the protagonist of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Chapter 6
? I’m spending the afternoon in the arcade playing the Precure card machines...
As previously noted back in chapter 1, Precure has an expansive fanbase that reaches far beyond the elementary school girl demographic the show’s theoretically targeted yet. That said, the arcade game that Sagami’s talking about here is very much aimed at the elementary school market, to the point that the machines are conspicuously child-sized. I mentioned that while Sagami being a Precure fan tells the reader that he’s one of those nerds, it’s not necessarily in a judgmental way, but him spending his time monopolizing the arcade game tells us that he’s also one of those Precure fans, which is a lot less neutral of a tidbit to learn about him.
