Densha otoko (電車男, littéralement « l'Homme du train ») est un film, manga, roman et une série télévisée japonaise qui narre l'histoire d'un otaku (Yamada) d'une vingtaine d'années qui sauve une belle jeune fille, qu'il surnommera Hermès (son prénom est en réalité Saori), lorsque celle-ci se fait agresser par un ivrogne, et détaille leurs rendez-vous successifs ainsi que ses appels à l'aide sur un forum de discussion (dans la série, ce forum semi-fictif est appelé « Aladdin Channel »).

Densha Otoko a débuté comme une discussion sur le forum 2channel, supposément une histoire vraie. Cette histoire fut ensuite adaptée en roman, en manga, en long-métrage (sorti en juin 2005), et finalement, en une série TV diffusée de juillet à septembre 2005 sur la chaîne Fuji TV. Comme les producteurs, certaines personnes attestent de la véracité de cette histoire et prétendent être entrés en contact avec le vrai Densha Otoko. Toutefois, rien ne prouve que l'histoire soit entièrement vraie.

Densha Otoko est l'exemple type de l'otaku gentil, qui désire mener une vie normale mais qui est trop timide pour trouver une petite amie ou parler normalement en dehors des discussions sur un forum. La série télévisée montre d'ailleurs un grand nombre d'internautes, témoignant de la taille importante de cette classe que constituent les otaku.

En dehors de cet aspect "informatique", l'histoire fait également la part belle aux meilleurs côtés des otaku : ils sont coopératifs, compétitifs, gentils et honnêtes. De plus, le style d'Hermès correspond au fantasme de la plupart des otaku. Cette histoire fait intervenir beaucoup de monde venant d'internet, il n'y a pas d'auteur unique. Elle démontre toutes les craintes et l'anxiété des otaku, mais également leur cœur pur. En ce sens, Densha Otoko est un parfait exemple de cette jeune génération.

Synopsis

Yamada Tsuyoshi, jeune homme de 23 ans, n'est pas le modèle de l'homme comblé. Chétif, plutôt malchanceux, charié par son patron et ses collègues de bureau, il a une vie épuisante et pour couronner le tout, c'est un otaku tout ce qu'il y a de plus véritable, ce qui n'est pas pour améliorer ses relations avec les "gens normaux". C'est dans ce contexte de vie plutôt misérable que va lui arriver l'événement de sa vie. Un soir dans le train, de retour d'Akihabara, quartier populaire de Tôkyô favori des otaku, il prend la défense d'une jeune femme qu'un vieil homme ivre agressait verbalement. Le pauvre jeune homme ne s'en sort pas sans un coup sur le nez et se fait voler la vedette par un salaryman (homme d'affaires) qui se débarrasse du vieil homme. Cela étant, la jeune femme, Saori, est touchée par son courage et prend son adresse pour lui faire parvenir un cadeau de remerciement.

Whistler plays the entire opera on the Detragon, an elaborate one-man orchestra machine. Once the performance is complete, a mystery man informs the audience that they are to play a game, the winner of which will receive the secret of eternal life.
