I misread the title as "SOCIAL Hazardous Waste Disposal" so I was expecting it to be a twist where it's like a SpecOps that hunts down hikikomori or something. This is pretty cute though.
Well, who's to say this isn't the natural progression of a hikikomori's growth? I'm willing to accept a headcanon where these are what otaku become after delving too deep.
I think I like that idea more than anything the author could come up with, to be honest. Maybe the sonic weaponry the monsters have is obnoxious anime op/ed songs and idol music. Most people are incapacitated by sheer annoyance, and only those with a certain amount of familiarity with otaku stuff are able to resist it. That's why you have to separate your heart and mind from the job, otherwise you could become one of them.
And honestly, what normal person doesn't feel like they need a cold shower after interacting with some of the creepier parts of otaku culture?
edit: also second panel on this page would make a great reaction image.
