My sexy new book OTAKU IN USA is here! Sorta. Kinda.
I just got my sample copies in the mail from the publisher. The book comes out for reals in Japan on Thurs/10.
Here’s the front of the book, as seen underneath the protective dustjacket: a classic illustration by Kojiro Abe (AKA Jules Carrozza) like the flesh peeled off all the pretty cosplay girls on the cover.
Shit, now I really have to pick one up. At least it's not too expensive, since I can't read all them flippy flappy symbols.

Good Lord, I almost forgot that I once etched that.

It has an almost mythic power, like images of a demon etched on rocks by desert tribes.
