CNN.com - A mobile page turner - Mar 21, 2005: "A writer who goes by the single name Yoshi wrote 'Deep Love,' a series of stories about a Tokyo teenage prostitute. He began by posting them on an obscure cell phone site he started and made reader payment voluntary.
'Deep Love,' which uses erotic language and violence to create a page-turner despite a preposterous plot-line, became a hit, mainly through word of mouth among young adults. It went on to become a movie, TV show and 'manga' or Japanese-style comic book.
It's even been turned into a real book, with some 2.6 million copies sold."
