Controversial "Problem Child" Maid Café Opens in Japan

In Japan, where anime culture is prevalent, people have long been accustomed to various maid-themed establishments. However, a new maid-themed café that recently appeared has sparked controversy among netizens.

This maid café, themed "Problem Children," specializes in "yandere maids" (a character archetype that is sweet on the outside but dangerously obsessive on the inside), and they are genuinely authentic yandere... Before opening, the café posted recruitment information on social media: 1,500 yen per hour, "normal people need not apply." Only "landmine girls" (cute appearance but flawed personality), people with mental illnesses, self-harm enthusiasts, and drug abusers were invited to apply... The recruitment itself was truly chilling to read.

At the time, netizens didn't pay much attention to such "outrageous recruitment," thinking it was just a joke... However, this café actually opened, and the maids there were truly as described in the recruitment requirements - not merely acting.

In addition, the café required these "problem maids" to create dedicated social media accounts to share their states during episodes of illness, and many staff members took pride in their conditions. (Don't ask about the content - it's extremely, extremely, extremely outrageous, states that normal people cannot comprehend... It's truly mind-boggling!)

The establishment even published medical records proving that one maid had been hospitalized due to a suicide attempt... There are no words to describe the madness of this maid café. What's outrageous isn't just the content, but also the comment section where netizens replied with "So cute!" "I love it!" and "Support" - responses that send shivers down one's spine.

Despite successfully opening, Japanese netizens engaged in heated debates, with some believing the café wouldn't last long... As predicted, on opening day, due to various staff members arriving late, business hours were repeatedly delayed. After all, no one could control their condition for work, nor could they be forced to arrive on time.

However, this didn't stop people from pursuing such establishments, so they recruited a new batch of staff and continued operations... resuming business in mid-March.

The Appeal of Controversial Themes

Japanese media summarized the reasons for the café's popularity: the combination of cuteness with pathology and danger is mostly limited to virtual works but attracts many enthusiasts, so placing such themes in the real world proved highly popular.

As a result, after only 18 days of operation, both staff and customers became increasingly extreme in this indescribable trend...

The Blood Cocktail Incident

Recently, Japanese media reported that a customer requested a special cocktail containing human blood. The shift manager on duty, seemingly unafraid, actually added her own blood to the cocktail... Customers present at the time were shocked by this and reported the incident to the media, causing it to spread rapidly online.

Netizens exclaimed "Unsanitary!" and "This is criminal behavior," while also expressing concerns about the café's food safety and health standards. Some netizens joked: "The person who requested the blood special, even if they contracted an infectious disease, would probably cheer happily about 'getting the same disease as her.'"

Afterward, the café's management issued a statement describing such behavior as equivalent to terrorism, absolutely unforgivable! They also announced that the staff member involved had been fired.

Despite the termination, netizens continued to debate fiercely in the comments section. Many medical professionals also spoke out, saying: "This is insane!!!" Many medical netizens emphasized that in the medical field, blood handling is an extremely cautious and strict matter, and casually drinking others' blood is quite dangerous. They stressed that this should never be done under any circumstances.

We cannot know whether the blood contained antigens and antibodies of infectious viruses. When others' blood splashes or otherwise enters the eyes or wounds, let alone direct consumption, it can cause significant harm to health.

Well... how should I put it? Although such absurd incidents occurred, they didn't seem to affect people's patronage of this establishment, which is quite remarkable.
