Sasahara Kanji nastupuje do prvního ročníku na univerzitě a chtěl by vstoupit do nějakého kroužku kolem mangy, anime a her. Předtím nikdy nepřišel s „fandomem“ do styku. Postupem času překonává váhavost i ostych a zapadá do společnosti, která čítá hardcore otaku, fanartistu, cosplayerku, stavitele modelů, fanatického hráče konzolových her a jeho přítelkyni, která všechny otaku ze srdce nenávidí. Tento komediálně laděný seriál vás provede světem (ne úplně hardcore) otaku v Japonsku. Tak neváhejte a rozšiřte si obzory!

A mockumentary featuring an animated tale of an average person who slowly becomes an otaku (obsessive fanatic) and eventually becomes the "Otaking"! Between story segments, live action interviews with fictional die-hard otakus take place.

Doujin Work follows the life of a young girl named Najimi Osana and her exposure into the doujin world. She was first tempted into becoming a doujin artist after seeing how much one of her friends can make at a convention. Najimi loves to draw, though soon learns contrary to what she expected that this new world is anything but easy. As she attends more conventions and meets more people, Najimi eventually manages to find a group of very interesting friends. These friends already have some experience in the field and help her out along the way so that she can someday make a name for herself creating doujinshi.
