ok, this post was an ongoing "project" of mine the entire time i was in japan/vietnam. basically, i was on the lookout for anything that fell into the category of super cute asian-tastic characters. this project also came with a theory/hypothesis i set out to prove -
Theory: would america be way fucking cooler if we were bombarded by adorableness from everywhere?
Conclusion: yes. and to put it quantitatively: impossibly more fucking cooler.
