Otakufic: The Mediocrity of Ace O'Turney
Welcome, friends. Welcome to the frightful and bizarre world of Downtown Otaku City, where ghouls and fiends wander the streets freely.
But only on alternate Thursdays after 10 P.M. Our story takes place around noon, in the lair of Dr. Shinmarustein. He's always up to some bizarre new invention that defies the will of about fifty different deities and nature itself. Should be interesting.
