   I guess the people who wrote the culture notes were not as hip as you   
   about KL.   
   Yes it is available online.   
   Check your email for the URL.   
   Others may search for the title plus manga and gee, a lot of results.

   Thanks for the link.  It is, however, interesting that Genshiken carried on   
   the parody for several years.  It's a KL is published by someone else and   
   not sure if it was popular as it tended to recycled the plots from the   
   original book.   
      
   I didn't recall the "waifu" thing until I re-read KL.  It was a very small   
   part of KL.  None of these were explained in the Japanese version of G and I   
   wonder if anyone reading G. actually got the reference (unless it was often   
   quoted on TV and other medias in Japan).   
      
   So what else are you reading, Bobbie?  I got through Azumi II as the   
   complete series was available from SFPL.  I also got most of Salaryman   
   Kintaro.  It's a very crudely drawn and unrealistic portrayal of a Japanese   
   "salaryman" but it had its moments.
