The Otaku

I am not familiar with Otaku who collect anime good or idols. But I think they have been becoming part of Japanese culture because foreigners know about them. When I went to a university in America, I saw many comics.That was strange as I have never seen comics in a Japanese university.

There was a famous TV show called densya otoko. A train man, the main character and a kind of Otaku, helped old women on the trian.The beautiful woman standing nearby was impressed by his act, so she asked him for his address.The train man fell in love with her and tried to give up Otaku for her. However, he didn't know how to live without his collection, so he talked about that on the internet. Many people who live on the internet were interested in the situation. For example they wrote, "I'd call her now'' and "Oh really?" When the train man called the woman and was finished talking to her, other characters commented, "Good job! Coooooool!!!" You could see the whole story of his efforts for her on tv.

Please check for Otaku in your university.
