Serba sedikit info dr Wikipedia ttg Akihabara@Deep
Akihabara@DEEP (アキハバラ＠ＤＥＥＰ, Akihabara atto Dīpu?) is a 2004 novel by Ira Ishida which spawned a manga, television drama, and movie adaptation.
Taking place in the Tokyo district of Akihabara, or Akiba as it is often shortened to, the story focuses on a group of outcasts of society, mainly otaku, and a company they establish to "troubleshoot" the problems of Akihabara. The manga and the drama follow the same story of a group of young otaku forming a company to help others like them in Akihabara. The movie, on the other hand, shows a much darker, more violent and slightly twisted perspective of life as an Akiba-otaku.
Akihabara@Deep was adapted into a manga a year after the novels publication. It featured art by mangaka, Makoto Akane, and followed the same story as the original novel. It was serialized in Japan across Comic Bunch, a seinen manga magazine, in August 2005 and spanned a total of 6-tankobon volumes.[1]
Plot
It all begins when a mysterious online personality named Yui decides to assemble these outcasts to try and form a group dedicated to solving the problems that plague Akiba by forming the "troubleshooting" company, Akihabara@DEEP, often shortened to just @DEEP. One example of this troubleshooting would be that the otaku of Akiba have come under a surge of bullying. @DEEP's first task was to eliminate this bullying. After getting rid of this problem, @DEEP began taking up other tasks as well. Some of these include clearing the name of a cosplayer in a case that involved the distribution of underground videos depicting other cosplayers getting undressed in dressing rooms, protecting a news anchor from attacks by otaku who were enraged at a story that she had previously worked on that bashed the youth of Akiba, and helping out a maid cafe that the people of Akiba frequent from an opposing maid cafe that was acting extremely hostile to this maid cafe and even provided various prostitution services to the visitors of the opposing maid cafe.
While @DEEP solves these cases, the group unintentionally attracts the attention of a seedy character named Nakagomi Takeshi. The reason behind this is because of a secret past relationship between Nakagomi and Yui. What adds to this is a fully self-reliant AI program that Nakagomi would greatly benefit from if he got his hands on it. This is because he is the president of a very influential electronics company called Digital Capital, often shortened to DigiCap. He will eventually raid @DEEP's headquarters, steal Yui's AI, and kidnap Akira
The main characters of @DEEP are all outcasts of society and usually have something fundamentally wrong with themselves. After getting advice from a Website called "Yui's Lifeguard" these six individuals are called together by the website's creator, Yui, to help clean up Akiba.
Page (ページ, Pēji?)
(Shunsuke Kazama)
Page is the leader of Akihabara@DEEP. Although articulate, he has a severe stutter that prevents him from speaking at length without the aid of a text-to-speech program on his computer, which Taiko later upgrades to speak more fluently in Page's own voice. Page is the only member of @DEEP without a particular area of expertise, but proves a worthy leader for the group. He always has his friends' best interests at heart and works hard to protect them, as seen when he stops the merciless beating of Akira, Box, and Taiko by threatening to blow himself up with 'bombs' (in actuality, fireworks) strapped to his body.
At the beginning of each mission, he often says, "All right, planning time!" to the point where he is teased by the others for its constant repetition despite his inability to say it properly.
Box (ボックス, Bokkusu?)
(Toma Ikuta)
Box is @DEEP's resident graphic designer. He wears gloves at all times to prevent direct contact the world, and changes to a fresh pair every two hours. Box is afraid of women to the point that he foams at the mouth if one gets too close. He, however, has no problems at all with what he terms '2D women', for example animated women, female cosplayers, or maids (although not ero maids; Box declares them to have too much bare skin to be grouped in with his 2D women).
Taiko (タイコ, Taiko?)
(Gen Hoshino)
Taiko is a techno-musician who creates ringtones and the like as a hobby. When he is exposed to flashing lights, he seizes, freezing up like a computer. His nickname is derivative of his musical ability.In the movie, he appears to be a mechanic/technician, instead of being a musician.
