Train Man: A Shojo Manga is about an otaku ("nerd/geek") and a princess-like lady. It's about the development of this young man from being a complete otaku to being a gentleman, and the development of his relationship with the opposite sex. With the help of a certain forum, he tackles challenges that he never would've thought of to happen to him. It's an interesting read because it's fun and realistic.
I like to read romance manga specially with a mix of comedy in it. (duh, most romance mangas have that element.)
This is me trying to be cute.
The difference of this manga from the other Densha Otoko manga is the art style and the shortness of it. I've grown to like the shoujo (for girls) manga art style because it's a refreshing take for me since I started out with shonen manga. The story is to the point and leaves out the unimportant details but it still fulfills the plot.
This story is part of the Densha Otoko franchise. It has spawned a movie, a live-action tv series and a couple of mangas. The story of Desha Otoko is the almost the same all over it's media. He's an otaku, meeting a pretty lady by the train. The same plot over all the media but it's somehow refreshing.
Bottomline:
Read it. It's a fun manga to read and it's a good starter for a person who hasn't read any manga in his/her life. The art style is definitely shoujo but anyone would like it because it's a light read and to the point.
