Relive the good old otaku days with this sentimental and comical reflection on a teen\'s path to self-acceptance. Otaku culture has finally become mainstream, and Megumi can\'t quite get used to it. Divorced, with a teen daughter, Megumi thinks fondly back to her days as an anime and manga otaku-in 1995. That year, she transferred to a new school and decided to start fresh by hiding her otaku interests. She found herself taken under the wing of a basketball ace named Masamune, who\'s got a kind heart and looks just like one of her favorite characters. Though Megumi catches a whiff of destiny in the air, she\'s crushed to learn that Masamune detests otaku. (W/A) Nico Nicholson
