This kind of stealth release is fascinating, turning a simple comic drop into a treasure hunt. It makes you wonder if we'll see similar tactics for manga or light novel tie-ins in the future, creating an immediate collector frenzy for fans. What a smart way to generate hype for an otherwise niche character!
