Are you sure you want to be with a dedicated Otaku who would go through the journey with you? I think life needs balance. AS I said before I am going on 32. No, that does not mean I have a mountain of experience. But lets just say my journey through life began when I dropped out of school at the age of 15 to live with a man who was 21. After that little oops I did not stop to look back, I went on to do worse things. No, no drugs or prositution, but sometimes giving up your body for nothing more than a mere embrace is worse >.<

Through these years which seem like a lifetime, though it has only been 17 years since then, I am on my second marriage with children and everything. My first 'husband' ugh was like me, alot like me in many ways and unlike me in other ways, was an Otaku. We were too similar, which left a big hole in our lives that no one was fulfilling. People need change and like to experience new things, even Otaku's. That's why we get waaaaaaaaay excited when we see a new awsome Anime that we just gotta buy, so we go to the store at like 9 a.m before they even shelf it to buy it. Sometimes getting there a few minutes early looking like a stalker! heeeyaaaah! So even we like new things and change.

Being with someone just like you will only backfire! My husband, though he likes anime, is not an Otaku nor a semi-hikki like I am, which is a good thing. He brings me back to this world every few days just to remind me I am alive and that I am not actually connected to the net like the major in Ghost in the Shell. heh. It's a good thing, otherwise when he's gone, I would have no clue about life, or what to do with myself. ANother thing is that I plan on opening an Anime Cafe (yeah it's forreal not just talk. I have investers) and he helps quite a bit with understanding the non-otaku side of it. Meaning, if I want to have staying power what other things do I need to make the non-otaku enjoy coming. (how does he know all this? He's about to be 40)

SO though you might want an Otaku wife, just remember that even in Taoism, Buddism or what have you (i am non religious so I can't really elaborate) there always needs to be a balance. So instead of looking for someone like you, look for someone not like you, you can teach each other quite a bit and have fun while doing it...

As far as your business... I think drawing Manga is a good Idea. I recently interviewed the creator of MBQ, and the writer for mail order ninja works at my local bookstare. They are both american. There is a market out there for you, but you have to work really hard to make it there.
