Hi, /jp/.

I went to my university's clubfest today, saw this, and made me think of you.

Love, Anonymous.

What's wrong with yukkuri? Maybe they just like taking it easy. Support for the idea that this is a good club continues to accrue at an alarming rate.

Probably to all be thrown away once one walks in the door of the actual club, but one can hope.

>> No.7836984

>>7836971
There is nothing in particular wrong with the yukkuri, it's just that the combination of that and the cirno picture makes the whole thing look like an thinly veiled excuse to do whatever people who find memes funny do.

It's also far from the first aspect of the culture that I would consider it a good idea to advertise.
