Story: The story itself is interesting and very entertaining. What makes it interesting is that it provides us with a realistic depiction read more
So I enjoyed this too, I found out that there was a manga (more actually, even an anime and several drama's). of a true story, so something that actually happened. When I found out it was this story, I was suprised, that it was a romance, and not a warstory, or some kind of crazy deranged drama. But it was a nice suprise, this is about a guy, a "Otaku", who "saves" this ...woman from being harassed by a drunkard in the train, they exchange some information and keep narrowly contact with each other. This read more
This is a very simple manga and due to such simplicity it is very often down-played and underrated. Is simplicity really such a bad thing? Can a simple manga be a good manga? The question "What makes a good manga?" is one that has no definite standard answer. The world of - let's call it "creative work" thus encompassing a wider scope than just manga - is an open one. Ultimately it is as unlimited as one's imagination can be, therefore any answer to this question will be met with opposition read more
It's really hard to believe that this is based on a true story but true story or not it's a must read. Out of all the Densha Otoko Manga's I read this one is the best. As you read the manga you feel like you regret not reading the thread that Densha was posting back when this happen but this manga gives who the feeling that you were actually there when this all happen. Not only does it make you feel like you were reading the thread it also makes you want to change like Densha. It's really a heart pounding love story and I read more
Story is hard to beat, being a true story that exploded onto the national scene. It's one that resonates with just about everyone. Art is fantastic. There are no giant mecha or too cute girls or rampaging monsters, but real life portrayed very well. Characters are great, seeing real growth and development. Hard read more
I will not review about art, hell i don't really care as long the story gives me a good impression, and this manga is one of those. At first i think this manga is another romance story, where the male protagonist is a whimp that do not have any courage to confess or even ask the girl, but every time i read a chapter it is always makes me wants to cheers for this guy, it's feels like "go for it densha!". Especially every time Densha asked his friend on the net read more
Context. So here I am, hearing about 2ch's phenomenon of "Train_Man" after searching up what 2ch was. I read the summary and really just couldn't believe my eyes. An otaku stands up for a bunch of women getting harassed by a drunk on train and meets a woman among that group that congratulates him with an expensive tea set. 2ch instantly realizes this for what it is, and helps our dense MC start taking the bull by read more
I know the drawing isn't great but what counts is the story |
