==Synopsis==
 
 
 
===Synopsis 1===
 
A True Love Story turned into bestselling novel created from the Internet BBS, 2channel
 
to Blockbuster Hit Movie (starring [[Yamada Takayuki]] & [[Nakatani Miki]]).
 
[[Ito Misaki]] and [[Ito Atsushi]] will play the leading characters in this drama.
 
[[Ito Misaki]] plays Aoyama Saori who is an OL in a MNC who got into trouble with a drunkard on a train and is saved by Yamada Takeshi ([[Ito Atsushi]]). As a form of appreciation, she sends him a Hermes teacup. And having no experience with the opposite sex, Takeshi decides to ask for help on the Net BBS, 2 channel on how to interact with Saori.
 
===Synopsis 2===
 
Adapted from the best selling book "Train Man," this is the true life story of a geeky young man's romance with a beautiful young lady. The book is based on actual messages posted on a huge internet discussion board in Japan. A million internet users followed the Train Man's romance, giving him advices on how to impress the girl and take her out on dates. Train Man belongs in the so-called "Akiba-kei" category: a term that describes nerdy looking men who hang out at Akihabara (the famous electronics area in Tokyo) all day, who are obsessed with video games and computers.
 
  
After a long day working, Saori rides the train home only to be involved in an incident that would change her life. Inside the train, Saori is harassed by a heavily drunken man. When the drunk reaches to touch her face, a young man stands up and says, "S... stop that!"

The young man is 23-year old Tsuyoshi Yamada. He is the typical nerd obsessed with anime and computer games. He always hangs out in Akihabara, the electronics center in Tokyo. Tsuyoshi has no interest in fashion and other trends, and his age equals the number of years he hasn't had a girlfriend. He works as a salesman at an employment agency but is always scolded by his boss.
+
===Synopsis===
 +
Set one year after the events of the original series, Densha Otoko has now become very popular and Akihabara, has become overrun with normal people getting in on the otaku craze. With Densha's popularity on the rise a corporation offers one million yen to anyone who can find his real identity. Meanwhile, Tsuyoshi tries to keep his and Saori's identities from being discovered.
  
The only things Tsuyoshi is usually interested in are anime and video games. But something about Saori's beauty lit a fire in his heart, giving him courage. When he's looking for words to apologize, Saori hands him her date planner. "I want to return a favor, so can you write down your address?" Tsuyoshi is taken back. He has been humiliated a thousand times by women, but never appreciated, especially from a beautiful woman like Saori. Saori has a sweet smile on her face as she watches Tsuyoshi write down his address with shaking hands
