School Days is an extremely popular anime based on a dating-sim game about a love triangle between Makoto, his girlfriend Kotonoha and his friend Sekai, which combines beautiful characters and an incredible complex (and fairly violent) story. The day before the last episode was to air, a girl killed her father with an axe, and fearing that the act might have been inspired by the show, replaced the last episode with classical music and images of a boat. The "Nice Boat!" is now a part of otaku history, and because we love to make esoteric things for otaku, we've made a limited-edition T-shirt to commemorate this really excellent boat. Show your opposition to censorship of anime with this great wacky T-shirt! Available in size S-XL, printed on athletic grey. Designed by AKwa.

Japanese men are human, just like everyone else, and sometimes they have trouble controlling their inner urges. Here's a wacky T-shirt that warns people who see it to beware of "nozoki" -- peeping toms, who like to watch women secretly, in the bathroom and elsewhere. The text reads "Beware of Men Peeping" in clear, direct Japanese. Because the word "nozoki" is written with the hiragana writing system, it's someething that only Japanese can read or understand (it's illegible to Chinese, for example).
