    The Changing Face (And Belly) Of Akihabara

    Maids trolling the subway exits in Akiba are a dime a dozen. A sea of crinoline and satin, they're everywhere, handing out flyers to the electronics nerds and ignoring gaijin.

    With so many adorable maids shoving tissues and maps in your face, they become like the homeless - ignored. How do you get your business to stand out with the lonely gaming set? Send a portly man in a Pikachu costume out with a lovely companion and target the chubby chaser crowd!

    Hot pika pika belly rubbing goodness after the jump!

    Surprisingly, the Jimmy Olsen to our Daily Planet, Mr. Spatola, was not arrested by Japanese police for molesting this oversized pocket monster.
