Recently, several different versions of a modern day Japanese folk-tale have been published in manga format. The story is about a guy, who is basically the biggest loser ever, who has never really interacted with a woman. Ever. He ends up meeting an amazing, rich girl, and turns to online posters to help make him suave and chic for his first date on a forum similar in style to 4chan. Interestingly enough, this is supposedly based on a true story. I'm reading the version put out by CMX manga which is called "Densha Otoko" rather than "Train Man" like the other companies. It's really funny and has some decent art, so I'd reccomend it to you guys, especially if you like online forums, and so-on.
Has anyone else raed the manga, or familiar with the folk-tale itself? Discuss.
