All in color, this handy softcover book introduces the the wild world of Japan's current otaku culture: maid and butler cafes, cosplay (cosplayer-friendly amusement parks, too!), Gundam spots, manga-based musicals, anime song concerts, AKB48, Comiket, Wonder Festival, loli fashion, places for military buffs and railroad lovers, highlights of otaku heavens Akihabara and Nakano and the Otome Road and Osaka's Nipponbashi and more! Includes contact information on featured events and selected shops, and there are also a few useful maps, including one of Tokyo's rail system. This is not a complete guide to every existing shop and event, but is an excellent overview that certainly hits the high points! All text is in Japanese.
