Voices of Empathy for Shy Chiikawa, Fails to Take a Photo with Admired Muchau-Man... Anime "Chiikawa" Episode 139

In episode 139 of the anime "Chiikawa," a scene was depicted where Chiikawa (CV. Haruka Aoki), who is shy, attempts to take a photo with Muchau-Man (CV. Hiroki Tōchi) but is unable to approach him as he is surrounded by other children, and trudges back dejectedly to Hachiware (CV. Makoto Tanaka).

Chiikawa, who was participating in a tasting event, was actually more interested in meeting his admired hero Muchau-Man than the food samples. At the beginning of episode 139, Hachiware suggested to Chiikawa, "Go stand next to him!! I'll be your cameraman!!" Though hesitant and fidgeting, Chiikawa headed toward the stage, but many children were crowding around the popular Muchau-Man. The shy Chiikawa couldn't bring himself to join the circle and trudged back dejectedly to Hachiware.

Viewers empathized with Chiikawa in this scene, with comments such as "I understand, I couldn't go get an autograph at a sports athlete's event either" and "It's hard to approach someone, isn't it... I understand the feeling too well, it's painful." Additionally, encouraging messages for Chiikawa were also posted, such as "I hope you get a chance to take a photo together!" and "Don't give up, I'm rooting for you!"
