Look at what greeted me on the Metro's page 2 today.

Surprisingly readable, especially considering the unresearched drivel most newspapers usually put out whenever anime/manga/otaku culture is concerned.

>> No.6327541

The page has a nice layout and a very nice choice for Miku art. However, this is old news. Why are they reporting on old news with out even mentioning Miku on Facebook to generate another 1k hits?

OP, you need to write the paper and complain.
