      From: blissInSanFrancisco@mouse-potato.com              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               bliss       --       b l i s s - S F 4 e v e r at D S L E x t r e m e dot com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
