INTEREST: Kemono Friends Breathes New Life into Japanese Zoos

My father, who works at a certain zoo, said that "The guys here because of this Kemono Friends thing have good manners, and they give more contributions than ordinary visitors." From the way he said it, they've made a good impression, so I'm reporting that the attitude of the Friends is getting through to the staff.

My father has to deal with complaints and troublesome visitors, so it made me really feel that the Kemono Friends fans haven't done anything to cause trouble.
Please continue to use the zoo as "guys with good manners".

I digress, but he's raising an actual animal fennec, but he said "Apparently the fennec in this Kemono Friends thing is a homosexual and is in love with a raccoon~", so I corrected this big misunderstanding.
So you heard the yuri guys' conversation, o father......

When the zookeeper said, “You can ask me any questions you like,” plenty of hands went up, but nobody asked him about Kemono Friends.

You can almost feel the frustration from here! The otaku bait was there in plain sight before the assembled masses, yet none of them had the resolve to claim it.

There were no kids or parents in this crowd, mostly college-aged men armed with expensive-looking cameras.

I'm glad to hear the Friends at the zoo were behaving themselves. I saw a similar report here, which I've taken the liberty of giving a rough translation for the enjoyment of my fellow Friends.

Also, in addition to the earlier report of 120k copies of volumes 1+2, the third guidebook announced that volumes 1-3 have a combined 200k copies in print.

20 * 10,000 , right ?
