I completely agree! I found it a completely refreshing look at a subculture that to this point I've haven't seen in anime or manga.

I mean, yes, we know there are otaku, but when portrayed in media, its usually men. So to see a group of not girls, but adult women, who are otaku in the Japanese sense was something I felt definitely time for!

Not only that, it really spells WHAT a Japanese otaku is, because Americans simplify things and automatically think the Japanese otaku equates to the *insert your pick of whatever variety American social outcast*, and that is incorrect.

And not only is there the cultural information that is relayed with this series, there is the potential for some very interesting character development! I really hope the ending does not fall flat!
