What is this saying? So does that mean that only men need to learn about insurance? Sounds kind of sexist to me. Well if that's the case then I hope they sell heartbreak insurance Laughing

No, they're probably just trying to reach for men more, since we tend to be rougher and more accident prone.

They'll probably come out with a Bishounen manga insurance tutorial for the ladies later on, though.

Would you want to insure a dojikko? I think not!

I would have thought that moe girls with their chronic helplessness, propensity for accidents and tendency to contract mysterious fatal diseases would be uninsurable.

each featuring moe characters designed by adult game character designer Wataru Kikuchi.



For some reason, this made me laugh too.

Meh. These days, it's not really news until the anime comes out.

Haha seriously, this is like the 100th time over these past months that "moe" is being incorporated into real life situations and such. I think the last article was about moe and jelly?

I guess we would be expecting world domination by "moe" soon?

You know that just bugs me, I think overall their internet saavy customer base (who they obviously target) is smart enough to know the company is in no way connected to any of the risque, fan art renditions of Erin. I think it shows that the character is popular enough that their advertising is doing a good job of appealing to customers and getting them to think of the company which is what advertising is supposed to do. What customers do with a brand or image is entirely of no fault to the company that thought of it. I mean I'm willing to bet there's probably someone out there who is infatuated with this guy and has made a fantasy video with him chomping on their toes or something.
