Manga Sub-Sub-Genre Ahoy!: Headphone Musume

Posted by Joel Johnson, January 29, 2008 6:01 AM | permalink

These adorable musume pin-ups show Japanese waifs wearing top-shelf headphones from around the world. I don't know why and I don't care. I like it a lot. Then again, I'm a sucker for a girl with huge headphones.

Yes, I could have punned "cans." I'm keeping it classy for you. (I really do think girls with headphones on are super-cute, though.)

I have to ask: it is a well known that male geeks typically lust after Princess Leia. Do you think your girl-with-headphones fetish stems from the similarity between the head silhouettes of the bun-headed Leia and the headphone-wearing waif?

the girl holding the etys and blushing is a nice funny touch.
