Train_man and [Hermess] met on a express train, because nerdy train_man saves the day of [hermess]. At least that is what happens in volume 1 of this series. In this volume 2 the romance continues. Train_man went from nerdy otaku to a not so nerdy lovesick young man. They go on their first dates this time and of course the complete internet community at 2channel where train_man first went to support and help have their own opinions about to handle everything.

Just like in his book Midnight in the garden of good and evil John Berendt gives us an impression of a city and its population. This time he picked Venice.
In 1996 the Fenice, opera house of Venice, is burnt to the ground. Berendt hears of this and sets his sails to Italy. In Venice he speaks with people who heard and saw the Fenice in flames and he is very intruiged with their stories. Who set the Fenice on fire and why does it take almost ten years to get the opera house built again?
