I’ve been meaning to post this for a couple of months now. For the first night of Kumoricon (Oregon’s anime convention), I stayed over at my manager’s house afterward since I didn’t bring my car at the time. With her permission, I would like to show you her room ^^. My manager (whom I passionately/sarcastically address as “m0nejer-sama” at work) is a full fledged otaku girl inside and out. Watches anime and reads manga (in Japanese)? check. Listens to J-pop? Check. Is an anime encyclopedia? Check. Enjoys Yaoi? Check. Is a rabid fangirl? Check. Cosplay? Check. Collects figures/plushies/OST/DVD/Gunpla/etc? CHECK! How awesome is that when we work, we are usually making over 9000 anime references, imitations, and making satires out of the otaku culture xD.
This is her library of manga and that’s her on the right ^^. Honestly, I think her room would’ve made it into Otacool if she wanted to join. Now for closer looks…
This end is her husband’s side who is probably every bit otaku as she is… oh, and he’s a complete “SIEG ZEON!” guy as you can probably tell from all his Zeonography and Char stuff.
Many collectibles, gashapons, figures, and whatnot. Some Gundam stuff I’ve never seen before o_o
Monejer-sama’s favorite anime is Dragon Ball Z and can probably answer any DBZ questions you can ask her. Not something you’d hear from a girl methinks ^^;. She’s also a rabid fangirl of Vegeta… and by extension, any character that is an arrogant egotistic badass or something along that line (see Light Yagami, her second lover).
More of her stuff which includes even more figurines, gashapons, broken goku things, novelty items, a really expensive Light Yagami figure… and is that LxLight yaoi doujin? xD
Fortunately, my manager also watches Gundam! Her favorite series being Gundam Wing… rabid fangirl + Gundam Wing + pretty boys… you know what that means right? Yes, she is THAT kind of GW fangirl >_>. I’ve actually read one of her “works” involving Heero and Duo… it was quite hilariously explicit ^^; (she would kill me if I show it to anyone). Amazing how she has the 1/100 tallgeese III, Nataku, and Sandrock… which I don’t have o_o (I used to though).
The Wing boys in clothes and poses that I’ve never seen nor expect them to be in before…*coughyaoibaitcough*
I literally bursted out laughing when I saw Wufei in that outfit. And what’s with that pose?! XDDDD
Of course, we can’t forget the wallscrolls. It’s all throughout her house. One thing I forgot to take a photo of was the full-sized Zeon flag in the living room ^^;
Her otakuism also extends to her car which is filled with a few plushies, and blasting anime OSTs.
Lastly, she has a cat fetish that rivals that of Shoko-tan. And that’s my manager for you ^^. She’s also a great friend as well and working with her is one of the last few enjoyable experience I have in an otherwise stale work environment. Is there anyone you work for or know who is in also happens to be an otaku?

oh I am starting to have work related envy…. thanks for sharing your awesome work related life :)
December 7, 2009 at 12:16 AM
You’re one lucky guy… Both husband and wife are otakus! And the hubby collects Gunplas~! What could be more better…
*salutes*
December 7, 2009 at 1:13 AM
Personally speaking, I’d hate a wife who was into the same exact same things as me. I find my hobby an escape of sorts and having everyone I care for included in it won’t leave much space to escape
December 7, 2009 at 1:55 AM
Woah, awesome. I wonder if I can be as lucky as you when I get in the work force one day. XP
Now, I wonder how does that HeeroXDuo looks like…
December 7, 2009 at 2:50 AM
I was cocking my eye-brows at the whole “staying at female manager’s house” bit before I read that she was married. Home Look indeed lol.
I’m really digging those two chicks in Zeon/Feddy uniforms. Though I wonder why Feddy-chan seems more endowed than Zeon-chan. ^_^;

You have a cool manager! =)
December 7, 2009 at 4:13 AM
What i envy is she’s got a lot of time to clean up dust XD MOreover she’s working…
Leaving figures and gunpla in open shelves like that, i experienced having to clean up my display shelves every week, and i only do that during long holidays or else all my 1/144 scale gunpla goes into a box and MGs and girl figures will be in a closed cupboard when i’m not around…
December 7, 2009 at 5:01 AM
What a cool manager you have! I wished i will have one similar as well in the future! haha!
December 7, 2009 at 5:24 AM

December 7, 2009 at 6:22 AM

huuuu how cool is that :D My ex-boss/friend is otaku too! He also has an amazing collection ^o^
December 7, 2009 at 2:58 PM
LOL at first when I saw the picture of ur manager’s husband’s shelf, I thought that that little figurine was Lunimaria but after seeing the larger image it was Kallen! xD
I spot a Z’gok, Gouf, Dom, some sort of Zaku(?), Gelgoog(?) and a giant Sazabi. xD
Heh…you’re lucky to have a manager like this! I suppose you guys get sidetracked with talking about anime hunh? Anyways, I thought u said u had the 1/100 Nataku…twice…what happened to them? O__O
December 7, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Kam, trust me… there is really nothing to be envy about my work xD
bd77, it’s my manager who collect the gunplas ^^. A good supply of dough to support the two’s hobby needs I supposed wouldn’t be so bad…
ReturntoThere, I’d assume having a wife with the same interest is way better than having her against the hobby ^^;
rndm, you really that curious? xD
Acewhatever, wow thanks for pointing out fed and zeon-chan. I totally forgot about them in the photo xD
Mathai, thanks ^^;
Exkurogane, naw she’s pretty lazy. It’s only relatively dust free at the time cuz that’s her new house haha.
Marzz, it would make the job a lot easier wouldn’t it? ^^
Eyeshield, cat ran from me when I pointed the camera at him.
Ercjohn, cool! real battle damaged Gunplas :D
Dredhawk, ahhhh so that’s what they were. Thanks for showing me ^^
Chun, and who said otakus are mostly NEETs? xD
Lelouch, Yes… we can get VERY sidetracked with our chats and having our lolz. Fortunately, I don’t get in trouble since well… she’s my manager xD. As for my Nataku, 1st one broke and 2nd one I gave away. Ancient history.
December 7, 2009 at 4:43 PM
@z
ya!!!! real battle damaged gunplas!!!! haha
December 7, 2009 at 7:11 PM
oh my goodness! that certainly is a sight to see! thanks for posting that and please thank her for allowing us to see that. im very impressed. and a bit frightened? but its cool that her husband is like that too. sounds like a cool manager!
December 7, 2009 at 7:38 PM
What is frightening? ^^;
December 7, 2009 at 7:52 PM
…o.0… o0o (bad open mouth, just to let u know) whoa. cool manager… all i have to say… o.0
December 7, 2009 at 8:19 PM
@Z; Is there a reason I shouldn’t be? XD
December 7, 2009 at 10:07 PM
If anyone’s wondering, this is one of the figures I’m talking about:

There’s a link to the other one on the same page. Found a couple of them on ebay, along with some limited editions wearing leotard uniforms.
