Ohhh... /BADONK/ I get nervous thinking what would happen if I ended up sitting on someone's lap.

Wouldn't it be great if I could teleport! /VIM VIM/ Pardon me / Or being invisible would do just fine.

Surely many of us have wished we could instantly teleport to our seat in a crowded movie theater or sports stadium, especially when we don't have an aisle seat.

Karume's manga elicited many reactions, such as:

  • "I totally understand! When I have to pass someone, I stand on my tiptoes and try not to touch them."
  • "I've entertained such embarrassing thoughts as well! If I lose my balance, I hope it's someone who will catch me when I fall!"
  • "This happened to me! I lost my balance and I ended up giving a complete stranger a kabe-don with my butt."

If you need to use the restroom frequently, or if you don't feel comfortable maneuvering to get by other people's seats, then perhaps a seat closer to the aisle would be a solution!
