Beschreibung (en)	The term otaku refers to a person who has deep, specialized, and sustained enthusiasm for a particular subject, often characterized by extensive knowledge, emotional attachment, and active engagement. In contemporary society, it is becoming increasingly difficult to share our pure enthusiasm with others. People tend to form social groups based on cultural taste, and this phenomenon has intensified in the Web 2.0 era through mechanisms such as filter bubbles. Through the “Luv What You Luv” project, I aim to present what I love while also listening to what others love. The project mainly consists of a magazine composed of two issues in a single book. The first issue, [Girls], presents what I personally love. The second issue, [Otaku], explores otaku fandom culture in depth, featuring three interviews and six contributed essays that highlight what others are passionately devoted to. In addition, the project includes a questionnaire that explores what readers and exhibition visitors love, as well as an Otaku Presentation Video, in which participants present their own passions and interests. Through this magazine and its accompanying contents, I hope that people can experience the joy of sharing what they love and form weak social bonds through these shared expressions of enthusiasm.
