OTAKU COLLECTORS

Harada Mariru is one of the "Nakano Fujoshi Sisters" idol band. She was named Race Queen of the Year in 2006, but in her room you won't find fashion makeup and designer shoes. In their place are 13,000 manga (enough to earn her the title "manga sommelier"), 1,000 limited edition anime DVDs, and 7,000 videogames, including dating simulator games of the sort popular among lonely men. "I have given up on the three-dimensional world," says the model, singer and tarento. "I try to look normal when I go outside, but that's the extent of it."
