Osaka's Mail Order Daily LifeIs there anything more adorable? No.

Is it somehow disturbing to watch a teenage girl go about her daily business? Maybe.

May the Force be with youFor those of you not in the know, Osaka is a character from the manga/anime Azumanga. Mr. Azuma, the creator of Azumanga and Yotsubato! specializes in what I call "excessive cuteness." Osaka is a strange girl with strange habits and strange ways of thinking. Hence everybody on the internets loved her.

Hirahira created the famous Osaka Sim in the yesteryears of Internet boom. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy. In this thing, you're following Osaka's mail order life as she goes out of the room, presumably to a part-time job, then comes back with money which you spend on various items that appear on TV.

Items such as this fine quality light saber, which I was fortunate enough to encounter early on in her mail order career.

She wasted no time in honing her Jedi skills.

I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be usedAs time progressed, I accumulated many items of interest, one of which of special interest. A breast pump. Unfortunately, her model does not change as she uses her new "toy".

Uhoh, it seems I got the Kimura edition.

I see England, I see Japan!

"Then she show me the knife!"

Wherefore hath thou kitchen knife?
