Weeeird. How are they gonna manage that? Hiring straight men to act gay? Man, that'd never fly over here... Not sure if it'd be much better if they hired real gay men, though. Weird. |

Quite confident in the fact that it would work better than a maid cafe with men dressed as maid, for the fact that I wouldn't actually mind visiting this one.

With the intention to have a host club for boy-love, wouldn't most of applicants be gay, bi, curious, or just adventurous? |

This made me laugh (in a good way)!
 I totally want to check this out someday, but I think I'd be too embarrassed to go in...

Once again, Japan has found a way to amuse and horrify me simultaneously. My immediate vision was of an old-time carnie yelling, "Step right up, and see a genyuwine quee-a, only five dollars."
But I guess it'll be more about performing little skits for the fangirls, which seems pretty harmless. The performers will probably be a mix of amateur gay/bi guys, and young actors needing the work. The only real problem I can see with this would arise from the audience: either older, drunken ladies yelling that they want to see some "action", or gay male customers making the young girl customers uncomfortable by bringing a bit too much reality to the BL concept. |

The only thing that surprises me about this is that it hasn't been done already.

It's Japan. I've long since stopped trying to reason out how or why. LOL! I don't think, however, they'd have any troubles finding suitable gay or bi males to staff the joint; this is Tokyo, not some one-stoplight town in Texas, it won't be hard to do. Although, the "living boys-love staff members" makes me think of Left for Dead (or Zombieland). What...? They have Undead boys-love staff members?! That sounds more interesting... "Fire up the chainsaw and break out the ammo and healthpacks!" |

A 2channeller said a similar thing.
However, RightCreate Co.,Ltd., which runs MiracleJumP, is in Sotokanda in the first place, and it is a company that operates businesses in Sotokanda (≒ Akibahara, roughly). Most of its cafés and bars are in Sotokanda. |

How Cool! I want to see it! Japan has all the best stuff.
America would be much more fun if we had clubs, restaurants and cafes that cater to anime fans.
