densha otoko

ytd, i came across this book at kino, and was attracted by the title, as i'm quite a lover of trains. hmmm, another international bestseller wor, i meant, nowadays it seems like every book is printed with this 'bestseller' word wor... turned the book behind, and read its synopsis... hmmm, a story, about a man who resued a woman from a drunken harassment, then sort of met up and fall in love... typical storyline... as i read on, it says, the storybook is actually the whole chunk of posts lifted from an internet forum, that this hero densha otoko (train man) posted from the day he resued the woman... interesting...

i opened the book...
wow, really the whole chunk of forum posts wor...

as i read on a few posts, this train man guy never had a gf and was posting to the forum for advises on what to wear, where to go, what to say... and there is a mass celebration of well wishing posts when the two become a couple... haha...

in the end, still didn't buy the book... :P
kinda hoping to find the forum thou... but i guess it would be in japanese...
