I have been featured as the 42th (ooo, lucky number!) “Overseas Otaku” in the April issue<\/a> of Windows 100%<\/a><\/strong>, a Japanese IT magazine that also features otaku and internet pop culture related articles. Every month, the magazine asks 100 questions to a foreign otaku. Tsubaki<\/a> (who is currently incommunicado in the world of Granada Espada) was previously featured in the March issue.<\/p>\n

Windows 100%<\/a><\/p>\n

They only printed a selected few of the questions while the full set of hundred is included on a CD-ROM that comes with the magazine.<\/p>\n

Describe your ideal girlfriend. (Not your current girlfriend.)
\nI want someone like ToHeart2’s Tama-nee! Jokes aside, I guess having someone with compatible interests is quite important. Cheerful and mature would be huge pluses too…… Wait I guess that is Tama-nee after all. LOL.<\/p>\n
