Maid Cafe

Hello, everyone~!

As I was browsing through the websites that I visit regularly, I found an interesting website of a cafe in Los Angels, which obviously are inspired by the Japanese Otaku culture. (Have you heard of that?)

I've heard that a Japanese term "OTAKU" can be understood in the US just like "SUSHI." I don't know if it's true, but by looking at the website like this, it makes me want to believe that.

It's ROYAL/T Cafe.

A lot of cafes just like this are everywhere when you go to Akihabara.(It's a region in Tokyo, and famous for big electronic stores. Needless to say, it's known as heaven for geeks, Otaku in Japanese.)

And related to today's topic, "maid cafe"(meido-kafe) is one of the things that is famous when it comes to Otaku culture. Though I haven't tried to visit there, I once looked up for it because I and my friends did a presentation about Otaku's communication. The word "OTAKU" originally means "out-group", and when you hear it today, it's basically about a person's character. There are several fields of Otaku such as Anime Otaku, Manga Otaku, Game Otaku, and so on.

I'm wondering what it would be like to visit Maid Cafe in LA!
