Akihabara has spawned a hefty new maid cafe for crazed otaku to clamor over, recruiting maids of a “BBW” body type as its main draw, a rare enough gimmick to have attracted some attention, along with both encouragement and ridicule.
The cafe, given the ever original name of “Shangri-La” was created to help promote “body confidence” as well as to emphasize that beauty can exist in a person no matter what their body size; a heavyweight notion that has been gaining much critical mass lately.
More information on Shangri-La can be found via the Cafe’s official website.
No No No No No No No NO and NO!!!!
They had a bbw girl service in ikebukuro. Seen them on the corner handing out their business leaflets. 2 years later now I am back in Japan, in ikebukuro, I don’t see them anymore.
Good. No one wants to see fat girls act cute when there is nothing cute (small) on them whatsoever. If they are short…sorry, acting cute doesn’t help the fact you are still fat.
Sumo is alright to watch as a sport because I watch it as a sport and not discouraged by their weight. But fat women…nope.
Still cuter than most American girls. And slimmer too.
There used to be a Meido Cafe in Detroit, some of the girls were fatter than this, and fatness was not the gimmick.

Did they open this maid cafe with fat bitches just for the handful of Black expats in Japan? ’cause otherwise, where is the appeal? Everyone else hates fat hos.
How about “Shangra-NOT” or maybe “Shangra-LOT”? OH The Humanity – once Japan starts normalizing Fatty types, the laziness will set in & social justice underdog types will complain they aren’t getting “Equal Treatment” in Idol groups or in Anime’s
It’s awkward enough to see black girls cosplay as white/asian characters – now, we’re letting over-weight be a Non-disqualifier? This is where the West failed it’s females. If this is a fetish fine but this better not become a thing.
Ladies- Imagine “Free!” but w/ hairy guys & beer guts! Not much fun is it? Get your female team in line! If chubby & scrawny guys DON’T Get a pass- Neither do the fatty chicks. It’s about balance
