The Four-Day Weekend

<p>Meet Henry and Winthrop: friends since forever, manga and anime fans, and dead sick of the daily grind. Henry’s girlfriend of four years just walked out on him after a dumb argument about salad dressing and Cowboy Bebop. Winthrop’s burned out on his comic store — paradise when you’re nineteen, but maybe not when you’re thirty-six. What’s left but to rent a car and a hotel room, gather some friends together, get dressed up as video-game characters and head south to drink in the biggest fan convention this side of the Missouri? Then into both of their lives comes crashing Diane, who’s never seen an episode of Dragonball Z in her life and neither reads nor can spell Shonen Jump. A “mundane”. And as it turns out, she might need someone like them just as much as they need someone like her.</p>
