creation which surrounded the back of a man fascinated
by anime and manga Hentais and recreating the stories
of raping young girls drawings. This story was inspired
by a real killer in Japan, so the term Otaku at the
time, was akin to unhealthy obsession, and appointed people
who were more obsessed with a certain subject.

Japan races came the Internet and groups of otaku who
identified with each other.
