Densha Otoko

Central to the story is the real-life Japanese web forum known as 2ch, the single largest internet message board in the world. A text-only forum in which all who post have complete anonymity, the lovelorn main character is given the nickname "Densha Otoko"--which means "Train Man"--by his fellow 2ch-ers after relating a story of how he met a beautiful woman on a train after standing up to a drunken passenger. Having no idea how to court the lady, who is nicknamed "Hermes" by the forum-goers, Densha Otoko turns to his fellow internet companions for help in winning her heart.

Mitsudomoe
Rent The 11 year old Marui triplets could not be any more different. The oldest one, Mitsuba, is sadistic and kind of mature for her age. The middle one, Futaba, is perverted, very athletic, and has the strength of a full-grown man. The youngest one, Hitoha, is generally very quiet and gentle but when push comes to shove, she might just be the strongest, the most perverted, and the most sadistic out of the three! The Marui triplets are all in the same class (6-3), led by the newly graduated teacher Yabe Satoshi. He usually gets pushed around by the girls and, on occasion, abused, but the triplets also try to lead him and the new school nurse, the clumsy Kuriyama Aiko, together. However, Yabe had no intention of dating Aiko and the methods the triplets use to accomplish their goal are highly unorthodox...
