Japanese designers have come up with some creative ways to stretch the boundaries of cuteness, but Kan-chan has wrecked ‘em all.
cute (Page 66)
In a world where cute cats have become a dime a dozen, the best way to stand out is by being two cute cats at the same time.
The pretty beast turned heads everywhere as she trotted through the streets of the anime and manga loving neighbourhood.
It’s like Transformers with Japanese schoolgirls, only with panties, bras and breasts playing a key role in each transformation.
It’s not like Pikachu really needed to be any cuter, but he’s gotten an adorableness upgrade anyway.
With their mother also looking unbelievably young, Taiwanese media are calling them “the family of frozen ages”.
These adorable clips and characters will help you memorise kanji symbols and make you smile at the same time.
Pikachu and other classic starter Pokémon face packs, of course, give fans special reasons to use ‘em all.
