Otome Road is right behind the Sunrise City mall (to the north) and is known as the manga and anime district. But unlike Akihabara, its target audience are girls and queer boys – here they can buy yaoi and shonen yaoi (the so-called boy's love manga).Somehow, Japanese women (from schoolgirls to housewives) consider boy's love to be the only pure romance. The highlights of the area are Animate and K-books – the first is rather about cosplay, but even if you are not into it, here you can get a costume of your favorite anime character, a bright colored wig or a make-up kit to turn a girl into a boy. K-books is Boy's love harbor selling video, manga and paraphernalia like cushions with sexy guys from yaoi manga.
