The Novel

Train Man

Antje Bockel

Er nennt sich Train Man, seine Welt sind Chat-Room's, Computerspiele und Comics. In der U-Bahn hilft er Hermes aus einer heiklen Situation und erhält von ihr zum Dank ein kostbares Geschenk. Er weiss nicht mehr wo ihm der Kopf steht. Wie soll er sich gegenüber einem Mädchen verhalten? Seine Chatfreunde stehen ihm bei und Train Man nähert sich Schritt für Schritt seinem Ziel.

A real-life thread on an internet forum started it all. A nerdy otaku meets a girl on a train and posts an urgent query on the web--How the heck do you talk to girls? What should he wear on the date? Where should they go? The forum's response was amazing, and the thread grew incrementally longer as the nerd's relationship with the woman developed. Eventually published in book format to become a best seller, the thread spawned a blockbuster movie, a hit TV series, as well as this heartwarming manga adaptation of an entire internet community rooting for love and romance.
