i have read Otsu-Ichi's novel called, "Calling You" and it's kinda gothic. I believe this book called Goth will be perfect for me because I'm an otaku-goth myself. I know there are goths here too. This novel also got turned into a manga. Tokyopop will or might also license it as well. They did license the manga version of "Calling You" |

| The term otaku-goth hurts my head. Then again, I'm sure I have been called both in my time. Still, that pairing scares me. Like perky goth. ... Peachy keen. |

I guess he got out of his mid-life crisis phase unscathed. |

Yeah. Sadly we're the ones that have to put up with the flaming bullcrap around him.
Also, I really don't see this compared to The Grudge and the The Ring. Not all Asian horror looks the same. So sick of manga being compared to those two damn movies. No. Uzumaki, sure, not what I remember of Goth. If anything it's more like Anne Freaks or a teenage murder mystery. |
