Densya Otoko ( Train man )

"Densya Otoko ( Train man )" is now one of the most popular stories in Japan.
It originally based on a true story that posted on website-2channel messege board .

He was 22years old, had never had a girl friend before, and he is so-called Otaku who likes anime so much . So he didn't know how to ask date and where to eat, when he had been interested in beautiful lady whom he saved from the drunk man on the train.

After he posted, he got advise from the otaku people from all over the Japan. He got encouragement as well.
At last he could tell the lady his true feeling. Then they love each other.

****
The book of this story was published.
The movie , the TV drama show , the play- every thing was successful.
****

Tonight the TV drama show was last episode.
Of course -Happy End!
Even though I know the story already, I was impressed.

When the word "Otaku"was used for the first time , it had only negative image.
The person who has only interests about anime, computer , doesn't go outside so often, go to Akihabara town where is very famous as a electrical town, is not good at commnication with other people ,although he might have plenty of knowledge.

But I think it is getting better. Now it sounds like one kind of culture....

I want to show this movie or drama show the people from other countries.
But it it unplesent if they belive that is typical japanese....

Contradicting.
