They sure like Kino no Tabi. And quite a few comments on DenYuuDen. Good news is that the ranslation for this series is picking up pace.

Surprisingly, from the comment, Seizon doesn't seem to be that popular over there. I thought a series full of otaku jargon like this will be popular among the usual reader of LN considering Haganai seems to be quite popular.
