Sweet Zombie Jesus, I love Japan so very very much. (http://www.ingram.co.jp/inter/newchara/new61.html)
"I hope Beer chan be loved by everyone!!
It can be going to be a favorite of
your beer lover father!?"
Just wait 'til you see Beer-chan's young offspring, Chibi Beer-chan.
Click on the "2002 New" button at the bottom of the page for a whole index of these pages. "Tissue-san?" The Tomato Bird? I guess it's no weirder than our own Orange Bird, but..."Tissue-san?" And his girlfriend "ROLL-chan?" Oh ye Gods.
NOTE: The entries under 2002.8 and 2002.9 are not clickable--but if you click one of the other pages, then tweak the number at the end of the URL upwards, you can access them. Some are not finished. No entries after September--I hope they haven't stopped! This could be my new favorite site.
...and be sure to hit the "Home" button! Beer-chan Flash Animation! and More! There's stuff from December there, so I guess they're still going. Beer-chan's not going to make it in America, though...
Love the description of Tomatori, the tomato bird:
"Charm point are tiny pecker and cute little eyes."
Priceless.
And everything--I mean EVERYTHING (http://dokidokistation.com/doujinshi/STP/DOUSTP-002)--inspires "doujinshi" (semi-amatuer comics). NOTE: Link is non-hentai; item is sold out.
