Akiba Maid Wars arrived today and I felt in the mood for a light-hearted romp through the maid cafes of Akihabara. I do wish I'd read more than the title ordering it, as it got very dark very quickly. I think the body count for the first episode was around 30 maids dead on the street. They try and mix some comedy in, but the whole thing is just too far fetched for my taste. After three or four episodes of carnage, we had one where they had to undergo a punishing regime of maid training to attract customers. I just kept thinking people would be more likely to visit your cafes if not for the piles of corpses scattered about. I doubt I'll be keeping this, but I will complete the series in the morning.
