WAaI! boys in skirts announced at Comiket
Via ANN: Further proving that Japan has room for fetishes of all kinds, the Japanese publisher Ichijinsha has announced a new magazine called WAaI! boys in skirts, centered around anime boys wearing girls clothing.
Yes, really.
The announcement was made at Comiket (shortened from Comic Market), the bi-annual doujinshi convention that draws massive crowds of anime fans every year. Telephone cards were available featuring art of the cross-dressing "male maidens".
