Akiba “maids” turn bloodthirsty
March 24th, 2006

Here’s something that could really make an otaku‘s blood run cold: in its endless quest for volunteers, the Japanese Red Cross is exploiting Akihabara’s maid cafe boom and setting up a blood donation room near JR Akiba station.

Inside the room are maids who give the fluid-donating otaku a massage, which is weird, but not as weird as you’re thinking — after the usual “Welcome back, my lord” thing, the donors get a 10-minute hand rub.
