Very nice observation!
Of course the Japanese are video game junkies, when they aren't inventing something wonderful and innovative (even if it's useless 3nodding ), so I can see that. I just wish I knew more Japanese pop culture. There are many references, especially on that page 'Kohta Hirano is so happy about this volume going on sale that he changes into-'

Wow! I had heard that most of the chapters had video game titles. I just didn't think that applied to all but one of the chapters. Very careful observation and research as always, NLK! 3nodding

... huh. That is interesting. Though I have always pictured Hirano as the typical gamer type.

Not to mention his mini series Ikaryaku kind of confirms that fact.

I like most of those games except for Might and Magic.

...I don't think you really took my comment the right way. I meant they make very useful and innovative things and it's only now and then that I find an article on some quirky little doodad they've invented, like rhoombas. In all honesty, they create many items that can change the life of a disabled person, improve gaming or create a faster and smaller computer. I only say the quoted above because I have seen some very quirky things as well as useful. Like a hat with cameras all around it so one can take a 360 degree picture. XD
