Akihabara goes Butler!

March 31st, 2007 by James

Sick and tired of maid cafes? Mainchi reports that something new will be coming to Akihabara tomorrow:

Akihabara’s first full-scale “butler cafe,” whose female waitresses dress up in men’s butler uniforms, is hoping to make an impression as it opens its doors to the public on April 1.

[...]

“There’s a wide range of butlers here — moe (passionate interest) types, good-looking types and tsundere (aloof/lovestruck) types — so both men and women can enjoy it. We’re aiming to be the world’s No. 1 butler cafe.” she said.

For more details, check out the official homepage of butler cafe Checkmate.

Uh, this isn’t new.
There’s been butler cafes around Akiba since a long time ago.

I know they’ve been around for some time in Ikebukuro, but according to this article, which is from the Japanese press, it’s a first in Akihabara.

Sorry, my bad…
I remember friends going to one last year, so I automatically assumed it was in Akihabara.

Those are the most disturbing butlers I’ve ever seen…
