Westerners in Japan find that the dating adventures of comic book character Charisma Man are more than just fiction - they echo their day-to-day reality.
In particular, the 'Charisma Man' phenomena relates to how ordinary Western men manage to attract stunning Japanese girls, mostly because of their 'exotic' appeal.
While these hapless geeks may struggle to find a girlfriend in America, their light colouring and blue eyes help them stand out - and attract the attention of beautiful women.
And it's not just in Japan. The 'Charisma Man' effect relates to foreigners in many other countries around the world.
