VTuber Matara Finally Gives Reason Why She Leaves Nijisanji

In a recent livestream, VTuber Matara, formerly known as Nina Kosaka from Nijisanji, opened up about her decision to leave the agency, shedding light on her struggles within the community. Matara’s departure has sparked discussions among fans, raising questions about the challenges faced by talents in large agencies and the importance of building supportive communities.

Matara AKA Nina Struggles Within Nijisanji

During her stream, Matara candidly expressed her feelings of isolation and the inability to foster a supportive community while at Nijisanji. She likened the agency to “Hollywood,” hinting at the pressure and competitive nature of the environment.

Matara revealed that fans who openly supported her faced harassment from the larger Nijisanji fanbase, which significantly impacted her sense of belonging. “I felt like I would never be able to grow my own little community,” she shared, emphasizing the toll this took on her mental well-being.

The harassment extended beyond just fans; Matara mentioned that even casual supporters faced backlash for expressing their admiration for her. This culture of toxicity within the community created an atmosphere where she felt constantly on edge, worried that one misstep could lead to cancellation. Matara’s need for a space where she could be openly appreciated and where her fans could express their support without fear of retaliation was paramount.

Matara Desire a Supportive Community

Matara’s decision to leave was not made lightly. She spoke about feeling guilty for wanting to prioritize her own happiness and the desire to create a nurturing environment for her supporters. “I felt selfish for leaving,” she admitted, despite realizing that everyone deserves a place where they are valued for who they are.

Her emotional recounting of fan letters illustrated her struggle; while she appreciated the love and support, many letters came from fans who identified more with the larger Nijisanji community rather than as dedicated supporters of her work.

Ultimately, Matara recognized that she needed to prioritize her well-being. She found solace in her new environment at V Shojo, where she believes she can cultivate a more meaningful connection with her audience.

“Having a small community that really cares for you is not the same as being tolerated in a large group,” she asserted, highlighting the stark difference between acceptance and genuine support.
