At his favorite neighborhood cafe, Shunsuke Yamagata, a college student who proudly calls himself a nerd, smiled shyly behind his horn-rimmed glasses at waitresses hurrying about in black Minnie Mouse shoes and lacy, racy mini-dresses inspired by Japanese comics.
The place is a dream come true for Yamagata, whose passion is collecting comics and cartoons. He giggled with glee when his servers addressed him in the squeaky little character voices they use to delight their fantasy-loving clientele.

For some reason.... I kinda like the sound of this :lol:
Nerd subgroups include not only people obsessed with cartoons and computer games, but also pop idols such as Morning Daughter, a music group marketed to kids that has become so popular among otaku that men sometimes attend its concerts wearing kimonos covered in glossy pictures of young band members.
Looks like I should relocate.
Also that Cos-Cha cafe sounds bangin'. Cute Japanese waitresses dressed up as French maids that greet you with 'welcome home master'
Should ask for one of these at my university :P

Am watching 'Densha Otoko' now and wow! Fits the stereotypical otaku to a T!

Densha Otoko is fantastic! I love the interaction with the 2channers, the show is so much fun!

Actually, it sounds kind of cool ^^; The drooling walking hard on fanboys would be creepy, but the idea of slipping into a fantasy world for a short while sounds like fun :)
