Those eyes! Those horrible eyes!

And I thought Dora The Explorer was bad.

I stopped by Kinokuniya on the way home and picked up a volume of Maria-sama ga Miteru (I'm not going to bother pulling up the Kanji-enabled editor right about now). Not the comic book, the novel, which was the original. The drawings are about right (you can see the character designs here) but inside the book were a couple of drop-out flyers advertising the DVDs, the manga, and the dolls. Those dolls you see to the left. Oh, my, gods those are creepy-looking. It's as if Maria-sama ga Miteru was put into Tim Burton's hands. Not a healthy thing to think.

And while I was looking around, I found a rather cute example of cosplay (probably safe for work). Kawaii!

OK. I agree. Those are pretty creepy. They remind me of a range of goth dolls they had in at my local shop last year.
