Summary

Another great light novel from Korea. The story's lighthearted with a tinge of real-life issues in regards to otakus, but the series is overall funny and adorable to read. Also, the accommodating illustrations are exceptionally cute!

Another Korean LN...

Kinda suck there aren't many art style besides manga that suit for this type of story and media...

Now it'd look like Korean just copy everything about otaku culture from Japan.

Hey, hey! My country is doing the best it can so do't mock their efforts. They've produced some good works like Noblesse and Sekaimo.

Man, imoutolicious is really picking it up.

Basically, it's about a Korean schoolboy who is secretly an otaku. Within few pages, he's exposed by another closet otaku (♀) and coerced into being her lapdog/straight-man.

You can read the review for it here: Clotaku Club Review

What's funny is that the Odeok is somewhat different from the otaku, becoming what we can consider a separate category of people.

I tried Noblesse because it was so popular on a manga site, but I never could really get into it even after completimg a few of its arcs. but lim dai young has a couple of good stories, and Tower of God is undoubtedly my favorite manga/manwha however its said in korea. It shouldn't matter where the story comes from, as long as its good

Hmm. Interesting. Thank you for the post! I may give this a looksee...

To be honest the art style doesn't really bother me, though, and if it is a good story I could care less where it was written! ^^

So after randomly finding this page earlier today I decided to check out this LN, ad I've gotta say its pretty funny. It reminds me of Haganai in some ways. the clubs are similar, and Yeonji is very much like Yozora in quite a few was as well. I'm looking forward to seeing more progress of this in the future.

Summary Spoiler: I am a Clotaku. That is, it's a portmanteau of 'Closet’ and ‘Otaku’. We try to appear to be normal people, while secretly keeping up with our Otaku lifestyle. Having overcome a trauma in the past, I, Kang Injin, have been secretly living the Clotaku lifestyle at Eunsung High School, and hoped that my peaceful (?) days would last forever. However, “First Year Class 7, Attendance Number 1 Kang Injin— You are an Otaku.” I’ve been found out. That girl, ‘Seo Yeonji’ threatened that if I don’t comply with her wish to create the ‘Clotaku Club’, she would reveal my secret to the school. Clotaku Club. Really, a club for ‘closeted Otaku activities’? It’s exhausting enough getting dragged into Yeonji’s plot, getting as far as establishing the Clotaku club. But how did I end up getting involved in an all-out war against the ‘Public Otaku Queen’ Eun Yerin? ------------------------------------------------------------ Another great light novel from Korea.
