In the end, these four unlucky guys all ended up wearing the costumes! These three in modern times would probably be doing abstract art, so in ancient times, they'd basically only encounter people like themselves or those who secretly gossiped about them being mentally unstable. But even though the protagonists are a bit "crazy," their charm still attracts many like-minded friends. Moreover, the writing style is genuinely hilarious, lighthearted, and humorous, without any frustrating or infuriating plot points, making it perfect for everyone to enjoy.
