I saw one of the manga series (same one) named "Densha Otoko". I liked it. It was based on/inspired by real story.
And yes, Otakus can have beautiful girls too.

If I'm not mistaken that's where the "OTAKU" term came from. I believe Train Man was (is) a manga based on the true story. That's why term "otaku" has its pejorative overtone in Japan. But I'm not 100% positive, 'cause maybe I got confused with 2 different things, hee hee ^^ So, anyone could clarify it?
I haven't seen the anime. Once I've started reading the manga, but it wasn't my thing... sorry ^^

mwahaha actually the term otaku is a bad term in Japan due to a notorious case back in the 80's where a withdrawn hardcore anime fan aka otaku, raped, murdered, and did nasty things to women...

yeeesss! I knew it!! I got confused some stuff together!!! I don't even know how I did that! But I was partly right with each subject ^^. Maybe I read about both topics on the same day, and that's why I mixed both informations together... THAT's SO FUNNY!
Koopa... you're ALWAYS HERE TO CORRECT ME! You always do that! lol
