A shy, timid boy defends a girl from a rowdy drunk on a train in Tokyo. In gratitude, the girl sends him a set of expensive Hermés teacups. He's a geek and has no idea what to do next. For most nerds, that would be the end—but this one reaches out to the world's largest online message board for help, making it only the beginning. This one-of-a-kind love story unfolds through a series of Internet chat room threads. As Train Man, our hero chronicles his progress and reveals each new challenge—from learning how to make conversation to picking out clothes for a date and beyond. In return, he receives advice, encouragement, warnings, and sympathy from anonymous netizens. And Train Man discovers the secret to what makes the world go round—and proves that we truly live in a universe where anything can happen.
