My Lovesick Life as a 90's Otaku is a slice of life manga that follows an adult Megumi Sato recounting her teenage years growing up as an otaku (a person who deeply enjoys nerdy activities like manga, anime, and video games.) She struggles on whether she should hide her interests from her peers to get social validation or to embrace what she loves.  

This manga has funny moments and a compelling side story with her pen pal. Overall the manga has room to be interesting in later volumes, but her naiveté can sometimes be both very realistic and yet very annoying.
