The official blog to Yoshitani’s comedy manga series 「Boku, Otaryman」 will be receiving an OVA sometime in January 2010. It will star Kugimiya Rie and Miyano Mamoru.
*Description courtesy of Japan-Probe:
Yoshitani’s comic-book series is called “Otaryman.” The title joins “salaryman,” the internationally known word for a loyal, hardworking company employee, with “otaku,” a word often used to describe a socially inept young man obsessed with comics, computers or anime.
_
An otaryman, then, is an oxymoron of the office. His head and his heart are usually elsewhere. He is surrounded by fellow office workers but can’t figure out what to say to them. He stays late at work not because he really wants to, but because everyone else does.
_
Yoshitani concedes he is that otaryman.

“We systems engineers often say to each other that even people held in slavery can go home and have dinner with their families,” he said. “We cannot.”
