explanation: Manga written by Fujio Akatsuka and published by Shonen Sunday from April 1962 to 1967. Thanks to innumerable gags and funny characters, it shared the popularity with "Iga no Kagemaru" of "Mitsuteru Yokoyama" (a tale of Ninja) on Shonen Sunday.

explanation: When you speak to an unknown person, you should call him politely "otaku" in Japanese. Virtually equivalent to Sir in English. But recently, it has acquired a second sense, i.e. "maniac fans of mangas or of videos", because of a lack of contact with the outer world, they use frequently "otaku" when speaking to others. In order to deserve this term, you should possess at least 1000 examples of those items and perhaps 2000 in Japan.
