Here’s something for the female readers - Tokyo’s first schoolboy cafe, Edelstein Boarding School.

This is a nice cafe for the ladies where the waiters in schoolboy uniforms have manicured hands, wear lip-gloss, and soft voices pretend to be teenage students, chatting and flirting with well-dressed Japanese women playing the roles of benefactresses visiting the school.

The cafe was opened by Emiko Sakamaki, who also who also invented Tokyo’s first “butler cafe” for females.

“Most of our customers are office ladies in their twenties and thirties, women who are fashionable but normal”.

Most boy-love manga feature dreamy, feminine-looking male characters. The same beauty ideal guides Sakamaki when she selects the waiters who talk about their pretend homework and studies at Edelstein.

I guess this must be a very popular joint with all the ladies flocking to it. Regardless, its still 1000 times more pleasant on the eyes than Hibaritei.
