Fujoshi Rumi: Mousou Shoujo Otaku Kei Manga Volume 1

by

If you’ve been an anime or manga fan for a while then you’re aware of a certian type of fangirl that loves romance and relationship stories. More specifically romance and relationship stories between guys. Yes, the yaoi and “boys love” fangirls are a very special breed of otaku. It doesn’t matter if the medium of choice is anime, manga, dojinshi, fan fiction or fan art, if they like stories with two guys bonin’ then they’re a Fujoshi.

This is the story of one boy’s love for a fujoshi.

Story

Takahiro Abe loves Rumi Asai, despite (or maybe because of) her odd behavior. Unfortunately Rumi thinks that Takahiro is already in a relationship. The imagined object of Takahiro’s affection is none other than his best friend Shunsuke Chiba, the most popular guy in school.

To make matters worse, the most popular girl in school turns out to be a fujoshi too, with an attraction to Rumi. How can Takahiro compete for Rumi’s affection with his best friend, the popular girl and even the imagination of the girl he likes?

My Opinion

I loved Fujoshi Rumi: Mousou Shoujo Otaku Kei. It had me laughing out loud and sometimes even arguing with characters in the book. Fujoshi Rumi is packed full of anime and manga references, with a list in the back of the book to help you find ‘em all.

I hate to say it, but I don’t think the reference list in the back is complete. I saw several background characters that looked like characters from other stories. None of them were mentioned, just the dialog and text references. It could just be my imagination. Maybe it was just coincidence that a girl in the background looked like Tsukasa Nishino from Strawberry 100%.

Is it worth it?

Fujoshi Rumi is well worth buying. It’s well drawn and extremely funny. I’d recommend picking it up A.S.A.P..
