It's easy to grow up alone and think, "There isn't anyone in the world like me." You like videogames, read manga, collect figures and statues, and you're deathly afraid of talking to girls. You pretty much give up on ever having what everyone else considers a normal life, relegating yourself to be an eternal bachelor. I believed that for the longest time, but that was before learning of Densha Otoko, a manga that shows the social outcasts often known as otaku aren't alone, and through it all there is one thing…hope.
