   Hello again Readers and typers.   
      
   "My lovesick life as a '90s otaku." volume 1 by Nico Nicholson. The   
   heroine is an Otaku at a new school who does not wish to be known as an   
   otaku because she was treated badly in middle school as an Otaku. She is   
   intent on suppressing her otaku side but is constantly falling into   
   Otaku mode. The Class President is a Yanki i.e. he keeps his hair   
   slicked down and wears a gakuran uniform. She wears a sailor type   
   uniform. The CP thinks she is shy and undertakes to welcome her   
   to the school and carries her home on his bicycle. But he has a   
   steady GF who is quite jealous. Now this is her view from the   
   POV of a formerly married and currently employed mother whose   
   child is an annoyingly privileged . The author despite the last   
     name is apparently raised in Japan thus we get authentic Japanese   
   feelings about many things. I found this in the Graphic Novel   
   section of the San Francisco Public Library main branch from   
   seeing 3rd volume of this on the New shelf.   
   so I searched shortly and found volume 1.   
      
   USA 12.99 from Kodansha
