Are you someone who doesn't understand the words Gravia or Kamerakozo or knows nothing about Japanese subculture. Maybe you might wanna buy this lovely new Otaku Encyclopedia. Written by Patrick not Patrick Macias, but Patrick Galbraith, you'd get that joke if you keep up with anime and manga new writers. Off that terrible joke the book is a complete guide to the Otaku and the Japanese culture it holds. The book also contains interviews with famous Japanese Otaku, it also comtains a guide of all the bad and good words used on Internet forums so you can finally understand what people are talking about. This book is a quick easy read. This is a fun subject to me and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys manga or anime.Buy the book at amazon or
