Should you read the e-book version, you probably won't do that. Sure, the volume provides footnotes, and you can flip to the end of the book to check them.
If you're not a die-hard anime/manga/gaming otaku however, following all the pop-culture references can be a daunting task. It's incredibly fast-paced, funny, cringe-worthy, with the odd heart-thumping at just the right moment.Įven the art-style is comparable to its (more palatable) anime version, occasionally managing to surpass it in its appeal. Which is how I ended up picking up Wotakoi, inspite of all my misgivings.Īnd boy was it a ride! If you're a die-hard Japanese pop-culture fan, this series is right up your alley: from famous manga/anime shows, to popular Asian game contests, this one has it all. Sure I'll read the odd yaoi manga or two (.hundred), but as far as the more 'regular' stuff goes, it needs a hyped-up anime series to even make me consider it. Next on Attack on Anime Merch: surrender, or Yubaba gets it!Īdditionally, I'm not much of a manga fan. Not only did I refuse to spend the truckload of money necessary to obtain even the smallest of merchandise (shipping from abroad is expensive!!), but a lot of the more popular shows eluded my interests. Even though slice-of-life and meta shows are among my absolute favorite genre, personal experience has taught me that I'm nowhere near knowledgeable enough to be a real-life otaku.
