Akihabara is a Tokyo district full of manga, anime, electronics, video games, figurines, etc. It is a place that gathers fanatics of such themes, people who are commonly referred to as otaku. Page, Box, Akira, Taiko, Daruma, and Izumu are six otaku - each an expert in their own field, and each with his or her own troubles. They drop out of society and end up founding their own successful IT venture called Crook. But Nakagomi, the president of an influential electronics company called Digital Capital, will do anything to get his hands on Crook. The young otaku sought relief through a website called "Yu's Lifeguard". When the site owner Yu dies of a mysterious death, the six gather to form "Akihabara@Deep", a trouble shooter group that vows to protect the district, and solve the problems of the inhabitants.—Artemis-9
