Nakamura Kano is an OL (office lady) with a secret… she’s a “Toku Otaku,” a tokusatsu otaku who is obsessed with live action dramas of heroes, monsters and robots. She thinks they’re “JUST TOO COOL!” She’s so obsessed that she skips out on drinking with colleagues to watch it on TV and collects the DVDs, books and figurines. She lives her life by the code of the tokusatsu heroes, and constantly imagines them to help her through difficult situations. But this isn’t easy when all of her co-workers think that people who like anime and other childish things are weird, and they keep trying to make her socialize.

Narumi Momose has had it rough: every boyfriend she’s had dumped her once they found out she was an otaku, so she’s gone to great lengths to hide it. When a chance meeting at her new job with childhood friend, fellow otaku, and now coworker Hirotaka Nifuji almost gets her secret outed at work, she comes up with a plan to make sure he never speaks up. But he comes up with a counter-proposal: why doesn’t she just date him instead? In love, there are no save points.



Notes:
Includes 29 extra chapters.
The English edition combines 2 Japanese volumes into one each (so e.g. the first two Japanese volumes are combined into 1 English volume).

The three chapters follow the daily life of Kahori Hanamura, an 18-year-old romance prodigy who has recently moved from the countryside to Tokyo to write for a literary magazine. She spends her time causing trouble for her 27-year-old cousin and editor Satoko Hanamura, who would much rather she meet her deadlines instead of skipping showers and ordering Transformers online. The manga features a number of fantasy sequences where Kahori connects her current predicament to Transformers, as well as imagining that her toys are talking to her.
