I'm not familiar with the manga, but that's kind of neat that he is a Densha otaku/railfan. It's really sad to see him pass away. RIP
My condolences and my heart goes out to the family. |

As someone who has recently hit 80th birthday, and is tetsudo otaku, this hit VERY hard for me.
I had met him many times both at newspaper for interviews, and at train events. He was very good person. We consider him ultimate railfan

Sad news. Seen the anime, I do hope in real life he was slightly less intense. But other than that, the ultimate densha otaku.
R.I.P. |
