I'm referring to her calling for them period. :P It's a little awkward 
in
the context.

Mostly because we never see them in the manga or anime, and all we know 
about them is Mom's prob with cats.
Hm, I'll probably cut it. But I'll have her think about them later.

That wasn't quite what I was referring to. :P I was more referring to 
the
reference to "a shop for otaku", as a Japanese person would not find
anything particularly strange about a comic shop--as comic books are 
rather
commonplace in Japan--and would not automatically dismiss them as 
"otaku
dens", since otaku has VERY strong negative connotations in Japan.

In other words, it's Sakaki's offhand dismissal of the store as an 
'otaku'
place that's incongruous.

Ahh. I see what you're saying, and  I agree. I'll change that.

Thanks for the elaboration. And BTW, thanks to everyone who gave 
suggestions about to handle Japanese dialogue. Everything came in useful 
for deciding how I was going to handle it.
