OTAKU PLAY

"Serious play represents a feature of any otaku's activity. Basically you play, but you do it with the greatest dedication, seriousness and interest. We don't want to be the prisoners of the industries that bet on our ability as playful mammals, but we desire to know them and explore their limits. Otaku PLAY explores the universe of players and play of all kinds. How and when you play. What you learn while playing and where do you risk arriving when you remain blocked within the same play."
(issue introduction by ST)
