Manga mania

by Lee on 7/23/2007

Many people have their passions, but whereas the likes of soccer and cycling are perfectly acceptable in public, the donning of massive manga-esque masks perhaps isn’t quite so permissible. Thanks to Anigao Girls in Tokyo however, those partial to humongous headwear now have a place to parade around in private.

Those interested it seems can rent a room for 3,800 yen for 15 minutes, the space coming complete with a mask and a collection of costumes, including, perhaps predictably, a maid outfit.

And for those wanting to bare all in a bikini or have a friend film the fun, then the price goes up somewhat.

But as this bizarre little video shows, it’s well worth forking out a little extra for such frivolity.

Perhaps.

Incredible. I never stop to wow with Japanese people. I wonder what rental service they will start next :)

With that mask on, you look great Lee! Man, even your beer belly looks svelte and feminine in those shots.

Have a good summer, squire!

This must be one of the most creepy and disturbing portraits of Japan that I’ve seen to date.
