On Monday 12 April 2010, my former undergraduate advisor, Keith Vincent, gave a lecture on otaku sexuality, drawing from Saito Tamaki‘s work on otaku in his book, 戦闘美少女の精神分析 (A Psychoanalysis of the Beautiful Fighting Girl; 2000), as part of a colloquium called Carnal Knowledge.

I am happy to say that Keith will be translating Saito’s book into English with a publication set sometime in Spring 2011.
