Recently I've been following a number of blogs on Japan and current developments in the otaku culture surrounding Akiba and so on.
One of these blogs alerted me (partially NSFW) of a very new manga called Shin Shinjukueki Kikakuka: Alps Hiroba. Apparently it's a comedy about a young and highly motivated tetsu otome ("iron maiden"), ie a railway attendant.
Seeing how I'm nuts about the Japanese railway system I'd love to just leaf through this book ^_^ Maybe I should ask Niels-sama to bring it back from his next trip to Japan. Seriously, the book costs less than five euros anyway.

I think the easyest thing to do is just order it at amazon.
I'll add some more stuff to get free postage.
I'll get it for you, no problem. And it saves time looking for it :)

I'd be more that happy to look out for it.
