Yeah. You read right. This is for everything that doesn't have anything to do with Eva.

Isn't Sailor Moon supposed to be a franchise for kids? You'd never see stuff like this for Star Wars or Lord Of The Rings here in the states.

Supposed to be, yes. But the first time I saw those miniskirts, my first thought was, "There's no flippin' way this wasn't aimed at males in some capacity."

I guess I should be thankful that all we've got is Hooters.
Life can seem a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when so much is on the line.

This being from a sensationalist site, I doubt if it actually has all minors working for the money because most Japanese women between the ages of 20 to 30 -- and with very petite stature and the "right" clothes -- could be easily mistaken as a teen. With the job market being tight, for a young jobless woman where's the quickest way to get money, work at a convenience store for minimal pay or quick big sum of cash at some strange fetish joint for a few nights or on contract?

My favorite example is Miori Ichikawa, also known as "Fresh Lemon"; she's the 20something:

Actually, that makes a lot of sense Shamy-kun. I'm less disturbed now.

You know what other product it'd be a good idea? PMS pills.

Seriously, even if it's a mere placebo, Japan can make this possible. :devil:

I wonder if I would opt for a prosthetic body if they ever became available. I don't think that I would, really-- maybe I'd take some enhancements a la Togusa, but a full-on prosthetic body is probably out of the question.
