Book Review: Where is started...kind of...
Summary: 5 Stars
A boy, a hard core anime fan, a gamer, a guy who sends his time living, sleeping, eating Geek related subjects and all that goes with it, saves some women on a train from a drunk. And this book is about what happened to him from his point of view. But in message board form! There is lots of editing, there had to be, just this is the main threads, the major points of his story, from when he gets a thank you note from one of the younger women, to their first date and budding romance. These threads are collected from over a three month period, so I doubt you get every single message, but it's not half bad as a story. I started at 5 PM and out it down about 9:30 PM, so if you're a fast reader, that's how long it will take. If you are slower than me, or wish to savory it, then you may take a whole day. Lots of humor, internet artwork and everything else that makes a story great.
Now, there is a debate of if this really happened or if somebody was pulling the Geeks' chain, but don't forget. Even the most solid fact becomes a legend afterwards, so why stress out about it?
Now three different mangas, a movie AND a TV series!
