He has warmed many people, how could it be useless? ” “This ‘do nothing’ service allowed him to support himself, publish books, comics and do Japanese dramas, and there are still 270,000 followers on Twitter.” “He just accompanies, listens and does everything.” Not doing it, but it brought much comfort to the client. This job eventually became a business and he found happiness. “
