Pass a Test and Become Maid in Japan | Akibanana

Most agree that Japanese maids are not direct imports from Europe but that they have come to embody 'moe' elements to become an original concept. This concept may not comply with the kind of maids that the Japan Maid Association is preaching for. Indeed, it is the diversity of maids that makes it interesting. The variety and types of maid is probably exactly what is needed to cater to the diverse clientele.

Despite these activities in the maid industry, the peak of the maid boom has been long over. Two or three years ago there were once about 70 maid cafes in Akiba. Prospects for the maid cafe industry are bleak as many in the scene predict maid establishments to decrease to a third of their number by next year. One only wonders how that would change the energy and liveliness of Akiba.
