Comment by LoveIsADelusion on The Weight of Accumulated Snow - Chapter 17

@LoveIsADelusion I don’t think the alcohol turns him into a s*x maniac. If anything, he seems weirdly functional even when he’s absolutely drunk. My theory is that because the ML looks like the action figures the MC loves and collects, the MC stopped seeing him as an actual person for a moment and started seeing him as a collectible. He even called him merchandise or something along those lines, didn’t he??? 😭💀

@Silver Gumiho Honestly I can't remember the action figures 😂. Were they mentioned at the beginning of the story?

@LoveIsADelusion I think the action figures are mentioned twice. Once in the first episode, and then later when they show the MC at his apartment and you can actually see the figures. In the first chapter, though, he's shown with a friend who says he looks like a main character. I think that's what leads him to start collecting them. Or maybe he was already collecting them and just thinks to himself that he doesn't want to look like a main character. Something along those lines, anyway. My memory's a little fuzzy on the details. 😅

@LoveIsADelusion I went back and checked the first chapter. It actually shows a whole shelf full of action figures. I spotted Kaneda from Akira, Nightwing, Nicholas D. Wolfwood from Trigun, and Joker from Persona 5. 😆 So the action figure obsession definitely wasn't something that appeared later. It was there right from the beginning.
