A supposed true story about an anti-social nerd in love with an elegant beauty, Train Man served as fantasy fulfillment for otaku males everywhere. Now, it's time for otaku girls to get their time in the spotlight with How to Date an Otaku Girl.

It was love at first sight when Hinata (Daito Shunsuke) spots former co-worker Yoriko (Matsumoto Wakana). Head over heels in love, Hinata confesses his love to Yoriko, but she warns him that she's a fujoshi - a term Hinata has never heard of. Ignoring her warning, the two begin dating, and Hinata suddenly finds himself knee-deep in butler costumes, boys love comics, and cosplay parties.
