Japanese arcade has floor pads so fans can kneel before, leave offerings to their game crushes

RN24: Even among otaku, those with a fondness for anime/game series Love Live! are known for being particularly obsessive. As a matter of fact, it wouldn’t be much of an exaggeration to say that the Love Livers, as the franchise’s fans are known, worship the central characters.
