Moetan Snack
Bought a box of “Moetan” snack while shopping in Akihabara the other day. I have only seen the Maid Cookies and this was definitely something new and funny.
Yay for Pastel Ink!
And Ink-chan in her normal form. Both are cute anyway.
I wasn’t really expecting much out of this and bought it out of humor ^^;
A girl who “tranforms” (transforms) into a witch is Japanese culture - LOL
A delicious souvenir from AKIHABARA - Even bigger LOL
「This is the most mysterious tale upheld between a stupid witch and a preparetory student 」 - I almost laughed my ass off when I saw this statement!
The internationalization of OTAKU & Akihabara.
There are instructions on how to use this as well!
1. 「下腹部取出し口より出てくるおやつをとるべし!」
(Something about having it as a afternoon refreshment)
2. 「出てきたおやつの英語例文を読むべし!」
(Read the English model sentences during afternoon refreshment(?))
3. 「底面に入っているおまけキャラクタ入り英単語カードから答えを探すべし!」
(Someone help translate this please!)
4. 「さあご褒美だ!おいしいコーヒーみるくぱい」
(And as a reward, enjoy some delicious coffee together with Ink-chan
and get to touch her)
The box consists of 15 packets of ‘coffee milk pie’, together with 5 English flashcards. Each flashcard has a screenshot of the anime.
On each packet, there would be a question asking for the meaning of a word. For example, ”What’s the meaning of sustain?”. You can then refer to the back of the flashcard for the meaning and a sentence example.
Sustain - It’s the nerds who are sustaining Japan’s economy (LOL)
And there you have it, a lovely “Midnight snack” with kawaii illustrations of Ink-chan on it! For a cheap price of 800 Yen, it would be a perfect souvenir for your family and friends!
And yes, I was joking about being able to touch Ink-chan ^^;

@Funya: Me too…
@Soshi: I guess it cost a lot more if they had to do that.
@Hijiko: Haha. That’s the only card out of the five that was funny though.
@D_Blade: More of instructions I guess…
@alafista: But I guess you can just imagine you’re enjoying a cup of coffee with Ink-chan ^^;
@Itachi∞ & xenapior: Hahaha.
