It took me a very large number of shops to find vol1 and I still haven't got vol2... I started reading it in comic high(the monthly), but having missed a whole bunch of volumes while outside of ye olde japan I have much to catch up on. I'm tempted to buy Queen Bonjourno too, but the price of erogee is so horribly steep relative to my perceived value for them... I do feel I kind of owe it to GJ since I played through most of akibakei kanojo and shichinin no online...

Cafe with Cat- it would be interesting if you could do an interview with one or two of the employees... what is it like to work there, how does she feel about being a maid, etc. I think it might be interesting looking behind the life of a cosplay maid.

I may not start it before you do, but I'll try to get a review of some sort up so we can compare notes... looking forward to it indeed. :3 >>Orbus I'm nearly done with the second volume now and it's a really fun read. Genshiken probably isn't the best comparison, but it's within the same broad meta-otaku category - only a shoujo style romantic comedy. The characters aren't as realistic as Genshiken, but this frees them up for much sillier situation comedy... hilarious at times. I need to put up a few scans soon. Oh, I've been patronizing Cafe With Cat regularly (three or four times now?) and intend to continue. If I get the chance to chat with the staff again so much the better... it's a learning experience, if nothing else. >>octo Himeya should have it: http://www.himeyashop.com/ though they're expensive... I don't know of any cheaper alternatives, though. Good luck with your search. >>loplop

Might we be looking at the next Genshiken or Welcome to the NHK here? And good luck with the waitress, man. You *are* going back to see her again, right? ;) Wow, Mousou Shoujou Otaku-kei sounds interesting. Might we be looking at the next Genshiken or Welcome to the NHK here?
