Japan is one of the fashion capital in the world and you’d expect to see many different variety of fashion magazine targeted at different readers.

Gentosha Comics has released a new fashion magazine titled “Moeurs” that is catered to the otaku whom still enjoy fashion, where their featured models are not real human but cuter girls by illustrations than real girls. The book summarizes Japanese young girls’ fashion classifies all genres of them into 10 genres and explain their features in detail. At the same time not only their fashions but also their lifestyles are introduces.

The kawaii 2D girls in the magazine were drawn by popular mangakas and illustrators of light novels and even popular ones from pixiv.

I thought its a really interesting magazine and even though you might be a guy, it would still be useful to pick up the magazine and know what is the difference between the “Mori (Forest) Girl” style and the “Gyaru” style.

Have very little success getting a real girlfriend? Then you might want to first try your hand at getting a virtual girlfriend using the Barcode Kanojo iPhone application, which allows players to use their iPhone cameras to scan any object in the world with a barcode.

The objective of the game is to generate your own Kanojo using barcode and then communicate with her by touching her. Apparently you will get different results depending on where you scan your barcodes. Asian barcodes will generate an Asian-looking girlfriend while other region barcodes would have different results.

If only the game features the kind of interaction that is offered by Konami’s Love Plus series for every barcode kanojo that is generate, then it would be a great hit.

Petition for Otaku Rights To Wed 2D Characters

A group of radical otakus have banded together and started a petition campaign. Their aim is to gather 1 million signature so that they can ask the House of Represenatives to grant them the legal right to wed the 2D character of their choice.

Their leader expresses clearly that he has no interest in real women:

If possible we would like to become inhabitants of the 2D world. With current technology standards however, this won’t be possible anytime soon. Having said that, at least we ask for the legal right to marry a 2D character. If comes though I would like to marry Asahina Mikuru.

I think it is kinda absurd. Doesn’t that mean that everyone can marry Mikuru. And that would take any special meaning out of it. And I definitely prefer real women. LOL

Not sure if the pictures are taken off the sames series of the doujinshi ã€ŒèŒãˆã‚‹ãƒ˜ãƒƒãƒ‰ãƒ›ãƒ³èªæœ¬2007ã€ that I’ve been really wanting to get hold of.

I wonder if they have a shota version. Pretty boys in headphone just for the fujoshi.
