I think a lot of fangirls could relate, frankly. ^^; I love how Saki is being assimilated into the group, but not really the hobby. She just will never be an otaku, but she slowly starts getting along with the geeks and freaks.

I'm glad to hear the anime is good. Sometimes the adaptation just falls flat, especially for a series like this. I guess I'll need to check it out. XD
