Eeodo's latest publication “I’m Alone, But Not Lonely” explores the rise of the ‘otaku’ as a phenomenon of 1980s Japanese youth culture. Originally written in 1990 by sociologist Volker Grassmuck, the essay is published here for the first time as a beautifully designed and illustrated book. It includes a Preface by Paul O'Kane, a specially written introduction by the author, and original illustrations by manga artist Kengyuan Qiu.
