    Those wacky under-sexed otaku ! Give it time, and it will show up here, since so many kids these days are obsessed with Japanese anime.

    Nerds here in US needs some more love from the society. How come Otakus are treated so well over there? Maybe they are big spenders and very loyal customers. I often wonder what kind of job those people have when they are in front of their TV set 24/7.

    Do you need torpedo-style tits to get a job in one of those places?

    I actually... went to one.

    I read about them while still in Japan and though 'Well... shit, thats something I gotta see for myself'.

    And the poor lasses freaked out over a gaijin being there, the place was full of social rejects who all but ignored the maids and played on their laptops/read manga and the food was average.

    Oh man, now you are making me curious about those places. I may try to visit one when I go to Japan next time. Are the girls attactive or average like the food?
