Otaku Blue - Volume 1 - Tokyo Underground

Asami is a sociology student studying otaku for her thesis. Her relationship with Kotaro is on the rocks: she's busy with her research, and he's an aspiring filmmaker working on a J-horror flick. The real horror is out there on the streets: a serial killer who amputates body parts from his prostitute victims. What's his sick game? As Inspector Arakawa and his young protégé Ryohei wade deeper into depravity, Asami, with the help of cosplayer Maiko, sets out in search of an otaku so elusive he's almost an urban legend in the youth culture capital of Akihabara: the mysterious Buntaro.
